# The Go live switch

Published: 2026-09-06 - Runtime: 1:00 - Area: Bite Publishing - Tags: Bite Publishing

The Go live switch turns a private bite into a public, shareable page on your own domain the instant you flip it. One toggle controls visibility, and sharing options unlock only after the bite is live.

Toggling a single switch takes a bite from private to a public, shareable page instantly.

## What changed

Visibility for each bite is now controlled by one switch: a live bite's menu leads with Take offline, while a bite that has never gone live leads with Go live. Flipping it instantly creates a public page on your own domain.

## Why it matters

You get full control over what's public and when, with a clear counter showing how many bites are live and how many slots remain. Sharing only becomes available once you choose to go live, so nothing is shared before you're ready, though downloading still works right away.

## Steps

1. Open the menu for the bite you want to publish
2. Select Go live to flip the switch
3. Confirm the public page is live on your domain
4. Use Share once the bite is visible

## Questions

### Are my bites public by default?

No, bites start private, and going live is a single switch you choose to flip.

### What does the counter show?

It shows how many bites are live and how many slots remain.

### Can I share a bite before going live?

No, download works right away, but sharing waits until you go live.

### How fast does the public page appear after I flip the switch?

It's created instantly, on your own domain, in just seconds.

## Transcript

Your bites start private. Going live is one switch, and it counts. One toggle controls visibility for all. The counter shows how many are live and how many slots remain. A live bite's menu leads with Take offline. Now consider a bite that has never once gone live before this moment.

Its menu leads with Go live, the same switch, other direction. Flip it and a public page is born instantly, on your own domain, in just seconds. Share tells the same story from the other side, once your bite is visible. Download works at once, sharing waits for Go live.

The green button is the only door. It stays shut until you choose to open it.
