Publishing
Publish a document from the Dock Editor to a shareable page. Set the SEO title and description, choose listed or unlisted, keep the page in sync with your draft, and unpublish.
Publishing turns a document into a shareable web page with its own link. You write in the editor, publish when it is ready, and anyone with the link can read it. The page stays in sync with your document, so an edit you make is an edit readers see.
Open the publish dialog from the editor and publish. Dock gives the document a public page at a clean URL of the form /p/your-slug. The page renders your document the way it reads in the editor: headings, formatting, tables, math, images, and citations all carry through.
When you publish, you set the page’s SEO title and description, the text that shows up in a browser tab and in a search result or a shared link preview. These can differ from the document’s working title, so the public framing of a piece can be tuned without renaming your draft.
You choose how discoverable the page is:
- Listed pages can be surfaced and indexed normally.
- Unlisted pages are reachable only by their link, for sharing a draft with a specific reader without putting it out in the open.
Switch between the two as a piece moves from private review to public.
A published page stays connected to its document. When you edit the document and it is published, the page updates to match, so you do not republish by hand every time you fix a line. The page is a live view of your document, not a frozen copy.
When you want a page gone, unpublish it. The public link stops serving the document, and the document itself stays safe in your workspace. You can publish it again later if you change your mind.
Documents can also be published programmatically through the document workspace API, which is how an AI agent or a pipeline can take a document from draft to published page. See the agent API docs.
