Every successful build goes live without going through the menu

Manus adds an automatic publishing option to its website builder, deploying every successful build directly to the public URL on web, iOS, and Android.

Manus is adding an automatic publishing option to its website builder. Once enabled, every successful build is deployed directly to the project's public URL, without requiring confirmation or going through the publishing window.

The starting point was the realization of cumulative friction: over an afternoon of iterations, fifteen small adjustments required fifteen manual publications. This option eliminates that step, keeping the live site synchronized with the latest accepted version.

Two safeguards frame this feature. The toggle is disabled by default, as the editor acknowledges that not all iterations are meant for the public: you turn it on when the direction is set, not while exploring. Additionally, only successful builds are published; a failed or in-progress build leaves the live site on its last stable version, preventing a client from stumbling upon half-finished work. Cancellations remain possible during a deployment.

The option combines with request queuing: you drop your entire list of modifications into the conversation, and Manus processes them in order, building and deploying each version without the user needing to stay in front of the screen. The feature is available on web, iOS, and Android.
