# wix release

Releases your project. The command first uploads your build output to Wix's servers as a preview, and then releases your project from that preview. Releasing also publishes the project's site, and the CLI displays the site's URL once complete.

> **Notes:**
>
> - This command uploads your project's build output, so you must run the [`build`](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-headless/command-reference/project-commands/build) command after every change you want to release. In a project created with [`create init`](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-headless/command-reference/project-creation-commands/create-init), the CLI has no `build` command, and this command uploads your build output from the directory set in `site.outputDirectory`.
> - A release can include at most 5,000 static files.

<blockquote class="tip">

**Tip:** Releasing a [headless](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless) site clears its entire cache, so visitors get the latest version. If you've released an update but still see outdated content, run `wix release` again to clear the cache.

## Usage

```bash
wix release [flags]
