Edit a Page You Already Published — Without an Account
Published a page, then spotted a typo? dochost now gives you an edit link alongside the share link, so you can update the page in place and keep the URL.
The old failure mode was familiar. You publish a page, send the link to five people, and then notice the wrong date in the second paragraph. Without an account there was nothing to do about it: publish again, get a different URL, and send a correction to everyone who already has the old one.
That is fixed. When you publish, the success panel now hands you two links: the share link, and an edit link for the same page.
How it works
- Publish as usual. No account, no signup.
- Keep the edit link. It appears next to the share link on the success panel. Anyone with it can update that page, so treat it like a password and only share the other one.
- Edit in place. Opening it loads the page back into the editor. Save, and the same URL now serves the new version. Recipients who already have the link see the update.
The edit link carries a token in the URL, which is exchanged once for a short-lived session cookie and then dropped from the address bar — so the token does not sit in your browser history or get copied by accident when you share the page you are looking at.
Why the URL staying the same matters
A link that changes every time you fix something is not really a document, it is a snapshot. Once the URL is stable you can put it in a place where people come back to it: a runbook that gets corrected, a spec that gains a section, a status page for a small project.
That is also why the edit link exists for anonymous publishes and not only for signed-in ones. Making corrections a paid feature would have meant the free tier only ever produces disposable pages.
What has not changed
- Anonymous links still expire after 7 days. Editing a page does not extend that; signing in is what makes a link permanent (pricing).
- Published pages are still served script-free from the separate content host, before and after an edit.
- If you publish while signed in, you do not need the edit link at all — every page is in your dashboard.
Try it
Publish something, keep the edit link the success panel gives you, and change a word. The URL you already sent will show the new text.
