This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co.
Your map is live from the moment you create it — there's no separate publish step. Anyone with the link can open it, and everything below is about getting that link (and your map) in front of people.
How to Access the Map Share Link
Click Share in the map editor's top bar. You'll get:
The map's link with a Copy button.
A QR code — great for posters and table tents; visitors scan it to open the map on their phone. (For a downloadable QR image, open the Maps page, click the ⋮ menu on your map card, choose Share, and use the QR Code tab's Download QR Code.)
One-tap sharing to social networks and email.
Visitors get a share button on the map too. If your map is embedded somewhere private and you'd rather they didn't share it around, turn off Allow users to share map in the editor's Viewer actions section.
How to Embed the Map on Your Website
In the Share pop-up (or under Preview → Embed), copy the embed code and paste it into your site where the map should appear:
<script src="…/embed/m.js" defer></script>
<proxi-map data-id="…"></proxi-map>
It sizes itself to fit and stays up to date.
Works wherever your site builder lets you paste HTML.
If your site builder does not allow for HTML, use the plain iframe instead.
Click on 'Site builder won't take this? Use a plain iframe instead' to retrieve the iframe code.
One setting worth knowing: by default, scrolling past an embedded map won't zoom it (so it doesn't hijack the page). If you want scroll-to-zoom, switch on Zoom On Scroll When Embedded in the editor's Display section.
Controlling How the Link Looks When Shared
Open the editor's Sharing section to control what people see when your link lands in a text, social post, or search result:
Link preview — the Page title, Description, and Preview image (1200×630 works best; if you skip it we'll use your cover image or a snapshot of the map).
Phone Icon & name — the short name and icons used when someone saves your map to their phone's home screen like an app.
For more information on setting the Phone Icon & Name, see the Adjusting Share Settings help document.
Private vs. Searchable Settings
Toggle between Private and Searchable within the share settings
Or in the Sharing section on the left side panel: toggle on or off the Searchable switch under discovery.
On, and your map can appear in public discovery — search engines and Proxi's public surfaces.
Off, and it stays link-only: anyone with the link can still open it, but it won't be listed anywhere.
For more information on map discovery settings, see the Adjusting Share Settings help document.
How to Create Your Own Domain
Want map links on your own domain, like maps.yourtown.com? That's a workspace-level setting under Settings → Custom Domain & Email (available on select Proxi plans) — submit your domain, set up the DNS records we show you, and every map link switches over automatically.
Or click Set It Up on the map share pop-up. This button takes you to the custom domain & email set up within settings.
