# Unpublish and Cancel Publishing (/docs/verdent-cloud/publish/unpublish)

> Stop an in-progress publish or unpublish a live app.



Verdent Cloud supports two different stop actions:

<CardGroup cols="2">
  <Card title="Cancel publishing">
    Stop an active publish version while it is still building, scanning, bundling, or promoting.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Unpublish a live app">
    Remove a live deployment from public access from the deployment management panel.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Unpublish a live app [#unpublish-a-live-app]

Open the deployment management panel for the app. If the deployment is live, the panel shows an `Unpublish` action.

## Republish later [#republish-later]

<Warning>
  To change the URL prefix or slug after an app is published, unpublish the live app first, then update the slug. You cannot change the slug while the app is live.
</Warning>

After changes, publish again from the same project. The deploy store refreshes deployment state and versions after publish/unpublish actions.
