Publishing an Aura or LWR site for the first time makes the site URL live and enables login access for site members. Unlike Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce sites, you don’t need to activate an Experience Builder Site unless you want to set up SEO and send out a welcome email.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/images/icon_important.png)

Important When you publish changes to a live site, remember that:

- _All_ updates made to the site since it was last published are included.
- You can publish only one site at a time.

1. In Experience Builder, [preview your site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_designer_preview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before going live, you can preview your Experience Builder site to see how it looks in a desktop browser window or on a mobile device.") to make sure that your updates appear as expected.
2. When you’re happy with your changes, click **Publish** in the navigation bar to publish your changes.
    
    To keep a record of the changes that you make each time you publish the site, summarize the changes in the Publication Description field in the confirmation window. Your summary then appears in the Change History panel in Experience Builder Settings.

An email notification informs you when your changes go live.
