Publishing and previews

Publish a status page, or share it privately with a preview link before it goes live.

Visibility

A new page starts unpublished so you can build it without an audience.

Preview links

An unpublished page can be shared with a preview token appended to its URL:

https://status.glowo.dev/<slug>?preview=<token>

Use it to get sign-off on wording and branding before launch, or to show a customer a page you are not ready to make public.

The token can be rotated, which immediately invalidates every previously shared preview link:

POST /status-pages/<id>/rotate-preview-token

Before you publish

• Do the component names make sense to someone who does not work at your company?
• Is anything on the page that should not be public?
• Does the page look right on a phone, and in dark mode if you enabled it?
• Have you subscribed at least one internal person, so you find out that subscriber notifications work before a real incident?

After you publish

Tell people it exists. A status page nobody knows about does not reduce support load. Link it from your app’s footer, your help centre, and your support auto-responder.

Putting it on your own domain makes it far more likely people will find and trust it.
