Publish and share

When your lab is ready, publishing it takes a single click, but choosing the right visibility setting shapes who can find and access your content.

Publish your lab

Open your lab in Stepwik Studio, then click Publish in the top-right corner. Stepwik saves a snapshot of your content and makes it accessible based on your chosen visibility setting.

You can edit and republish a lab at any time. Republishing updates the live version immediately.

Visibility options

In some organization workspaces, editors must Request review before publish. Moderators approve from Labs Pending review. See Lab submissions.

Share your lab

Once published, you have three ways to distribute your content.

Direct link

Copy the lab URL from your browser or from Studio → Share. Send it via email, Slack, or anywhere else your audience is.

Embed on your website

Stepwik generates an embed snippet for every published lab:

1. 1

   Open Share

   In Studio, click Share next to your published lab.

2. 2

   Copy the embed snippet

   Select the Embed tab and copy the iframe snippet.

3. 3

   Paste into your site

   Paste the snippet into any HTML page, CMS, or documentation platform that supports iframes.

Share on social

Click Share → Social to get pre-formatted links for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and other platforms. Stepwik auto-generates an Open Graph image so your lab previews well in social feeds.

SEO for public labs

Public labs get automatic SEO handling: no configuration required. Stepwik generates:

• A title tag from your lab title
• A meta description from your lab description
• Open Graph tags for social sharing previews
• A canonical URL to prevent duplicate content

Write a clear, descriptive title and a one- to two-sentence description in your lab settings. These become your SEO title and meta description.

Change visibility after publishing

1. 1

   Open the lab in Studio

   Navigate to your lab in Stepwik Studio.

2. 2

   Open visibility settings

   Click the Settings icon or go to Publish → Visibility.

3. 3

   Choose and confirm

   Choose Public, Unlisted, or Private and confirm. The change takes effect immediately.

Unpublish a lab

To take a lab offline, go to Studio → Publish → Unpublish. The content is preserved in Studio and can be republished at any time. Anyone who visits the old URL will see a "not found" page.

Branded sharing

Share links use your workspace subdomain (*.stepwik.com). Configure the hub under Domain and SEO. Custom domains are marked Coming soon in Studio. See Branding.
