For me, in web browser IDE and native environment, the buttons for Preview and Publish is always disabled (dimmed). Is that a bug or must I do something special to enable these two buttons? I work in Mac Studio M1 Max 2022 with Safari 16.6 and Chrome 125.0.6422.142 (Officiell version) (arm64), MacOS Ventura 13.5.1.Create DP1.
I guess this is “not implemented yet”. But on top of that what will be the difference between “Preview” and “Run”? Will Preview be the way to test on-device if I develop a mobile app?
Thank you for the report @BoL59 !
As @Hliljegren mentioned, the Preview and Publish features are not yet available, which is why they are currently disabled. These are key functionalities we are actively working on, so please stay tuned!
The Preview feature will allow testing on multiple devices, functioning similarly to the test button in the Classic IDE, though with some differences.
Is there a way to test the web export? and how? Today’s release said we can build standalones, but the publish button is still disabled.
I’m in the preview.livecode.com web app.

Same here.
In the absence of being able to actually generate any kind of output from Create, I’ve had to switch to Classic for binaries and a different platform for web apps.
Which is a pity because to be frank there is competition in the web app space that seems miles ahead, and I don’t see myself investing in two platforms going forward, where 1 will do…

Good point, I’ll try flipping to classic, … I ws sunder the impression that v11 has different web engine than 10… but i have to review that because it might not be true. Might be a hallucination… 
I’ve not used create for anything yet, it looks nice and modern and its responsive and all that, and won’t have the super annoying IDE bugs. I like many things about it, but my projects won’t open up inside of it, and so each time I’m in it, I’m doing random tests, and they last all but 5 minutes. It doesn’t feel right yet to do the work of making my stack compatible with Create. Needs more time and more love.
What are you working on Stam?
Hi Tom,
I stand corrected: I actually missed the announcement about DP7 and creating output… to this day I still do not receive blog announcement via mail so it requires me to manually check the mothership’s site for updates, which I hadn’t done in a while… probably should have done before posting, but didn’t realise…
I upgraded to DP7 for MacOS and was able to export a project for MacOS as native binary direct from create. It also exports an WASM web project folder. I just uploaded the created folder to the root directly of one of my sites and it worked as expected.
I guess it’s time to start working with Create and see how that compares to what I’ve been using for web development!
As to what I'm working on at present: A collaborative web app across many NHS hospitals in our sector, that is meant to be both public-facing (read-only) and editable by a group of superusers and admins. This includes user management, issue tracking, audit tracking and so on. I've used Xojo for web development and XojoWeb for MySQL backend and 1-click deployment to web and am very happy with the result, but obviously my preference would be to use Create for this.
I’ll work on porting my web app to Create and see how that goes - however the limitation below means I’ll have to keep using my existing solution for a while:
Standalone app connections to the cloud data source will expire after an hour, so they are suitable for limited testing only and not yet suitable for distribution.
I’ll also miss the automated control-binding for MySQL/PostreSQL/SQLite/ODBC that Xojo’s DBKit provides. Honestly I think this an ingenious timesaver and would really like to see something like this implemented in Create, rather than custom cloud data source. Divorcing data from app development is a common practice for a reason

For now publishing is only possible through Create Native but will be coming to web soon!
