# Publish a passport

> Make a passport live, get its link and QR code, and unpublish or pause it.

Publishing makes a passport public. Until then its link and QR code are off, and anyone who opens the link sees a "not found" page.

## Publish one product

Open the product and click **Publish** in the header. This saves your changes and makes the passport live. The status badge changes to **Live**.

## Publish several products

On the Passports page, select the products and click **Publish passport**. The **Ready to publish** tab is a good place to start.

> [!TIP]
>
> LUXIMA lets you publish a product that still has data missing. Check its [completeness](https://docs.luxima.io/products/completeness.md) first so your public passport is not half empty.

## Get the link and QR code

Once a passport is live, the **Passport URL** bar in the editor shows:

* The public link, with **Copy link**
* The QR code, with **Download SVG**

For a product with several variants, pick a variant first to get its own link and QR code. In the **Variants** table, each row also has **Open passport** and a QR icon.

### QR codes for many products

On the Passports page, select the products and click **Export QR codes**. You get a ZIP file with one QR code (SVG) per variant and a manifest.csv file that lists them. Earlier exports are under the **...** menu, then **QR exports**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> A variant needs a valid GTIN for a GS1 Digital Link. Variants without one get a Luxima ID link instead; the manifest shows which ones.

## Unpublish

On the Passports page, select the products and click **Move passport to draft**. The public page and QR code stop working until you publish again.

## Pause passports

Pausing takes a passport out of use without changing its data. A paused passport is not published, printed or shown when scanned.

* **Pause:** on the Passports page, select the products and click **Pause passports**.
* **Unpause:** select them and click **Unpause passports**, or click **Unpause** in the editor.

Passports you pause stop counting towards your plan's limit. Their place goes to passports the limit had paused, newest first.

### Paused by your plan's limit

If your company has more passports than your plan allows, the extra ones are paused automatically. A product whose passports are all paused this way cannot be changed or published.

To bring one back, open the product and click **Unlock** on a size in the Variants table. This pauses another passport in its place. Or upgrade your plan. See [Plans and the free trial](https://docs.luxima.io/getting-started/plans-and-trial.md).
