Page-Level Publishing

It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to publish individual pages (or specific sections/sites) instead of having to publish the entire application every time.

Current challenge:
When working on larger Softr apps, it’s common to have some pages that are still under development while other pages are already finished and ready to go live. Since publishing currently affects the entire app, unfinished changes can delay the release of completed updates.

Suggested solution:

  • Allow publishing of individual pages.

  • Alternatively, provide a “Draft / Published” status per page.

  • Optionally allow publishing specific sites within a multi-site app.

Benefits:

  • Faster release cycles.

  • Reduced risk of accidentally exposing unfinished work.

  • Better collaboration when multiple team members work on different pages simultaneously.

  • More flexibility for larger apps and customer portals.

This would make managing and updating production apps significantly easier.

Hi @Matthias - Agreed, better publishing options would be nice.

In case you are not aware, you can set a page as “Draft“. In the example below I’ve set the Privacy Page to Draft. You can see the text is a lighter grey signifying it is in draft mode. In the menu you can “Remove draft status“.

Hope that helps.

Good to know @TobyMacLeod. Thanks for the tip! Definitly usefull.

This would be a really useful improvement. Publishing individual pages instead of the whole app would make updates much safer and more efficient, especially for larger projects. I’d definitely use this feature if it becomes available.
