# Custom Publish URL

> Publish your design to a custom Magic Patterns URL

> [!NOTE]

## How It Works

By default, you are assigned a random website address hosted by Magic Patterns. But using the "Publish" button, you can assign a custom website address to your design.

For example, using our Custom Publish URL feature, if you want `my-portfolio` as your website address, your site will be live at `project-my-portfolio.magicpatterns.app`.

## How to Publish to a Custom URL

**1. Click the Share button**

Click the Share button at the top of the editor.

**2. Enter your preferred website address (slug)**

In the Publish modal, enter a name for your custom URL in the "Add Custom Publish URL" section.

**3. Click Publish**

Your site will be live immediately. In the example screenshot, the URL is `project-mindfulnesscards.magicpatterns.app`

### Changing Your Website Address

You can change your website address at any time by going back to the Publish panel and entering a new one.
