If the Publish or Share button in the editor looks greyed out, or publishing won't go through, it's because of a specific prerequisite rather than a bug. This article explains what each button needs.
The Publish button is disabled
The Publish button (top-right of the editor) is only enabled when you have unsaved changes since your last publish. If you've already published the current state of the project, there's nothing new to publish and the button stays disabled.
To re-enable it, make a change — edit a block, adjust a formula, or change a setting. Once the project has changes, Publish lights up again.
Publishing is blocked by a formula problem
When you click Publish, Numio opens a review step that verifies your results before letting the publish go through. If anything is misconfigured, the Publish button inside that dialog stays disabled and the offending results are flagged in red. Common blockers:
- A Numeric result whose formula or constant was never verified.
- A Logic result that's missing its source block or has an incomplete rule.
- A Chart result with a data point that has no value assigned.
Fix the flagged results — verify the formula, finish the logic rule, or assign the missing value — then re-open the publish dialog. When everything checks out, Publish becomes available.
For wiring results correctly, see Assigning cells to results and My formula isn't calculating.
The Share button is disabled
The Share button is disabled until the project has been published at least once. Sharing hands out a link to your live version — and there's no live version until you publish.
- Click Publish and complete the publish step.
- The Share button becomes available immediately afterward.
- Open it to copy a share link or grab the embed code.
Quick checklist
- Publish greyed out → no changes since last publish; make an edit.
- Publish disabled inside the dialog → a flagged result needs fixing (unverified formula, incomplete logic, or a chart data point with no value).
- Share disabled → publish the project first.
