In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Publish your Rocket app instantly using Netlify.
  • Share a public link with anyone - no configuration needed.
  • Update or un-publish your app with ease.

Before you begin

You’ll need:
  • An app already created in Rocket.
  • Your project open and ready to publish.

Let’s go live with one click

Ready to show the world what you’ve built? Publishing with Rocket is seamless.

1

Open your project

Make sure your app is open inside Rocket.
You’ll see the Publish button at the top-right corner.

Find the Publish button in the top-right

You should see a popup titled Publish on Netlify.

2

Click Publish Now

Click the Publish Now button in the popup.

Publishing popup with one-click action

What happens next?
The button changes to Publishing.

Rocket is deploying your app in the background. This may take a few moments.

3

Your app is live!

Once publishing is complete, you’ll see a confirmation state with your live URL.

Live deployment confirmation with link and options

Here’s what’s new on this screen:

  • A link to view your published app (opens in a new tab).
  • Update button to re-publish with new changes.
  • Un-publish link to take the app offline.

First time publishing? Rocket uses a default Netlify account if you haven’t connected your own.

Just a heads-up:
If you link your Netlify account later, web apps previously published using Rocket’s default account won’t be unpublished - Rocket will simply switch to your Netlify account. To republish them under your own account, just open each one and click Publish.

If you disconnect your Netlify integration, Rocket will automatically restore the last published version from our default Netlify account.

Update or un-publish your app

Want to push updates or remove your app?

  • Update: Replaces the current live version with your latest version.

  • Un-publish: Deletes the published version and disables the public URL.

    Control your published app anytime

If you click Un-publish, a warning will appear asking you to confirm.
You can choose:

  • Cancel – return to the previous state.
  • Confirm – permanently un-publish your app.

If you published using Rocket’s default domain and later connected your own Netlify account, clicking Unpublish will remove the app from both URLs.

Once un-published, the link will no longer work. You can publish again anytime.

You did it!

Your app is live on the web - no configuration, no hassle, just one click.
