How Do I Make My AI Hub Live?

New creators often look for a Publish button on the hub itself. There isn't one — and that's by design. Going live in OBIE is three independent switches, and it helps to know where each lives.

1. The hub is Published

In your hub's General settings there's a Published toggle, on by default. Think of it as the master power switch: when it's off, the hub is disabled and nobody can sign in. On your AI Hubs list, each hub shows an Active or Inactive pill so you can see this at a glance.

2. Your journeys are published

The builder creates journeys, milestones, and steps as drafts. On your hub's home page, each journey carries a status — Draft, Published, or Work in progress. Open a journey and select Publish — the dialog lists exactly which draft items will go live, so there are no surprises. Members only ever see published journeys.

3. The member has access

Live doesn't mean public. OBIE hubs are invitation-based: only people you've given access can sign in. Add them on your hub's Users page, import a CSV, or let an offer grant access automatically — the details are in Add Members and Control Who Can Access Your AI Hub.

Where your hub lives

Your hub's address is the subdomain you chose — yourname.obie.io. You can change that subdomain or rename the hub any time from Hub Settings → General (how renaming and URL changes work). Prefer your own domain, like learn.acme.com? Set it up under Hub Settings → Advanced → Custom Domain (full walkthrough).

Check it yourself

The surest way to confirm everything is live: select Preview as User from your hub's home page. You'll be signed in as a member and see exactly what they see — published journeys only, your branding, your domain.
