If I create a website or anything website related do I have to deploy the creation in order to actively use it and see how it runs? and after I deploy it can I make updates and changes, and if so.. how?
Deploying will publish that version of your site to the web, so it will be live for other people to access it.
- you get a subdomain like v0-my-website.vercel.app.
- you can change it or attach your own domain
Then you can go back into v0 and continue building. When you’re happy with a new version, hit Publish again and it will deploy to push the new changes live
In v0, deploying means publishing the current version of your project to Vercel so it has a live URL that other people can visit.
You can still keep editing after deployment. A good way to think about it is:
-
v0 preview = where you build and test changes
-
Vercel deployment = the live hosted version
-
New deploy = publishes your latest changes
So deploying does not lock the project forever. You can keep changing the project, preview the changes, and deploy again when you are ready.
For anything important, I would avoid making big changes directly before deploying. Make the changes, test the preview, then deploy once it looks correct.
