Normally, Super automatically syncs your Notion content to your website. If you need more control over when updates go live, you can use Manual Publishing. This feature lets you write, organize, and style content in the Dashboard, preview changes, and publish to your live site only when ready. You can visit this article for more information: http://docs.super.so/manual-publishing
How Manual Publishing Works
Dashboard preview stays active: Changes in Notion and Dashboard customizations (like code or SEO) will continue to show in the Dashboard preview but won’t go live until published.
Publish to live site: Click Publish updates to push content and code to your live site on your custom domain.
💡 Note: Publishing rebuilds all pages. Small sites take minutes; sites with 200+ pages may take up to an hour; very large sites could take overnight.
Key Differences
With Manual Publishing on, live updates are paused, only Dashboard previews update.
When you turn it off, the live site resumes automatic syncing from Notion.
Requirements
Manual Publishing is a Pro Tier feature.
A custom domain must be connected, manual publishing does not work on a
super.sitedomain.1. Activate Manual Publishing
2. Connect a Custom Domain
In your site editor, go to Domains and click Add a custom domain.
For detailed instructions, see How to connect a custom domain.
3. Enable Manual Publishing
Upgrade to Pro Tier and connect your custom domain.
Turn on the Manual Publishing toggle. Your live site will now only update when you press Publish updates.
4. Work in the Dashboard
Notion content changes flow automatically to the Dashboard preview, including custom code updates.
With Manual Publishing enabled, none of these changes are published to the live site until you manually push them.
You can refresh a page in the Dashboard using the Refresh button to check for new content.
To preview updates outside the dashboard, use your
super.sitedomain.
5. Publish to the Live Site
When ready, click Publish updates to push changes to your live site.
Super queues the request and clears the CDN cache so updates appear to visitors.
After the changes are in the queue, the publishing status will change to publish pending. When the site has been rebuilt, the Last Published time will be updated. If no changes needed to be published, then the time will remain at the last time changes were actually published to the site.
