Sync Design Changes from Claude Design

After you send a Claude Design to Wix, you can keep changing the design in Claude Design. Headless sites have no visual editor, so design changes always come from Claude Design or from your project's code, never from Wix Editor or Wix Studio.

How you get those changes onto your live site depends on whether an AI coding agent or the Wix CLI has published the site. Agents publish when they finish setting up, connecting, or adding features.

Note: Pressing Send to Wix can't damage your live site. When Wix can't update your existing site, it creates a new one and leaves the original running untouched. You can delete unwanted sites from your Wix sites list.

If only Claude Design has published

Send to Wix updates your existing live site.

In Claude Design, click Share > the Send to tab > Send to Wix again. Your live site updates with the latest design, at the same URL.

If an agent or the CLI has published

Export the design and have your AI coding agent apply it to your project. Don't use Send to Wix, which creates a separate new site instead of updating this one.

In Claude Design, click Share and select the Export tab.
Select Standalone HTML and click Download.
Attach the downloaded file to your AI coding agent, with a prompt such as:
Copy
Ask your agent to run npx wix preview and give you the preview link. Check the result before you publish.
Publish the site. Ask your agent to publish it, or run npx wix release yourself.

Tip: You can also skip Claude Design entirely and ask your AI coding agent, such as Claude Code, to make style changes directly.

Check how your site was published

If you're not sure which of the cases above applies to your site, check the following:

An AI coding agent worked on this site: Agents often publish your site when they finish setting up, connecting, or adding features. Update through your local project.
You or your agent ran a publish command: For example, npx wix release. Update through your local project.
Neither, as far as you know: You can continue to update from Claude Design.

Downloading your project files, working on the project on your computer, and running npx wix preview don't publish your site.

Why sending to Wix sometimes creates a new site

Wix won't overwrite work it can't identify.

When Claude Design published your site, Wix recorded exactly what it put there. Each time you press Send to Wix, Wix compares that record against what's live:

They match. Nothing else has changed the site, so it's safe to replace. Your site updates at the same address.
They don't match. Something else published over it, such as code or a Wix business solution your agent added. Wix puts your design on a new site instead and leaves the original alone.

Publishing from your project is what causes the mismatch. That's why an agent's work moves your site onto the project path.

What you'll see

Claude Design reports the result the same way either way, so nothing tells you at the time that a new site was created. What you'll notice instead:

The link Claude Design gives you points at the new site, not the original.
Your Wix sites list has a second site, usually with the same name.
Your original site keeps running at its existing address, unchanged, with all its content and business solutions.
