Website settings
Change a website's name or subdomain, check publishing status, and understand permanent deletion.
Open Settings in the website sidebar. Settings apply to the selected website, not every website in its organization.
Changes require website-editing permission. If you can view a website but cannot edit it, ask its owner about your role.
Change the website name
- Open the website's settings.
- Edit the name in the general settings form.
- Choose Save settings.
- Check the success message and the updated website name.
Use a name that helps your team recognize the website in the dashboard. Changing the name is separate from changing its address.
Change the subdomain
- Enter the replacement subdomain.
- Wait for its availability result.
- Use Retry check if availability could not be checked.
- Choose Save settings after the new name is confirmed available.
Use 3 to 30 characters with lowercase letters, numbers, and single hyphens between groups. Reserved or taken subdomains cannot be saved.
The app checks a changed subdomain again before saving and navigates to the updated dashboard address after a successful change.
Changing the subdomain changes the address people use to reach your Opalefy website. Review shared links, QR codes, and printed materials afterward. Do not assume the old address automatically redirects.
Check publishing status
The Publishing section reports whether the website is live or in draft. Publication is driven by pages:
- At least one published page makes the website live.
- A website remains in draft until a page is published.
Use Manage page publishing to go to the page-editing workflow. This section is a status display and navigation aid, not a separate manual site-wide publishing control.
After publishing changes in Studio, visit the public website to confirm them.
Connect a domain you own
Custom domains have their own section in Settings. Access depends on the organization's plan, and activation requires DNS and certificate checks.
Follow Connect a custom domain. Changing an Opalefy subdomain does not register or purchase an external domain.
Permanently delete a website
Website deletion is in the settings danger area.
- Confirm that you have selected the right website.
- Save any files and submission records you need to keep.
- Choose the website deletion action.
- Read the dialog naming the website.
- Choose Delete permanently only if you intend to remove it.
The deletion flow removes the website and its related pages, submissions, assets, and hosting configuration. This is not an archive or an unpublish operation.
Do not delete a website just to cancel its paid plan. Subscriptions belong to the organization; manage them in Billing.
