Publishing & Sharing

A story only becomes visible to other players once you publish it. Before that, it’s private to you.

Publish status

In the top-left corner of the editor, you’ll see a badge showing your story’s current status:

  • Not published — only you can see this story.
  • Published — anyone with the link can play it.

Click the badge to open the publish panel.

The publish panel

The publish panel shows a preview of your story (cover, title, description) along with its current status.

  • If your story is not published, you’ll see a Publish story button.
  • If your story is published, you’ll see:
    • Copy link — copies the story’s shareable link to your clipboard.
    • Run story — opens the story in a new tab, exactly as a player would see it.
    • Hide story — unpublishes the story again, making it private.

The shareable link looks like https://skaz.io/story/<story-id>. Anyone with this link can play your story without needing an account.

Before you publish

Make sure your story:

  • Has a starting block set (see Editor Basics — select a block and click Set as start).
  • Has a title, description, and cover image set in the Story tab — these are shown to players before they start.
  • Reaches an ending — a block with no choices shows players a “You finished the story” screen.

Skaz is in pre-alpha. Players will see a banner noting that some features and content may not be available yet — this is expected for all stories right now.
