Once you are ready to make your funnel live, you can select Publish from the Funnel Builder.

To publish a funnel the following must be done:

* All pages must be saved
* A default page must be defined
* All page routes must be defined
* Domain must be configured

**Default Page Assignment:**

Select the page you would like to set as the default for your funnel and select the settings (gear) icon:

**Define Page Routes:**

All of your page routes must be set. If the arrows are red, this is an indicator that the route has not been defined.

Your published site is now live and ready for traffic.

**Unpublish Site:**

Once your site is published, if for any reason you would like to deactivate your funnel, you can select Un-Publish. Un-Publishing your funnel will make it inactive.

### Troubleshooting

If the SSL and Domain are configured but you are seeing a message on the live site reading "Please Publish Your Site To Go Live", review your links to ensure the URL, including the slug/extension, is accurate - including any extra or missing "/"s or "?"s.
