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If you link your Netlify account later, web apps previously published using Rocket’s default account won’t be unpublished - Rocket will simply switch to your Netlify account.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?
You can choose:
- 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
You can choose:
- Cancel – return to the previous state.
- Confirm – permanently un-publish your app.
Free users can’t un-publish apps and will see a “Built with Rocket” badge on the public link. Want more control? Upgrade to remove the badge and enable un-publishing.
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.
