# Publish a storefront's code

> Puts the draft live, its files and its design together, and makes this storefront the one buyers see, as Publish in the code studio does. Send `rev` and `version` from "Get a storefront's code" as you last read it: if either has moved since (somebody saved in the meantime) it is refused with `draft_conflict`, so you never publish what you have not seen. A mistake in a template refuses it with `code_problems`, the mistakes listed in `problems`.

Needs the `storefronts.write` permission (Change Storefronts).
