Your AI Agents can now act on comments added in BugSmash with our MCP. See How it works.
Collect visual feedback on a website built with Bolt. Create a BugSmash Website project with a public URL or a site protected by Basic Auth, then share its review link for contextual comments. Other application logins, SSO, CAPTCHA, VPN and network restrictions may require the Feedback Widget or HTML workflow. This is not a native Bolt integration: BugSmash reviews the resulting browser page and does not connect to Bolt itself. Review the published or deployed web output from this tool. The editor, private project workspace and native mobile app are separate from a publicly accessible browser page. https://your-app.bolt.host Platform clarification: this is a generic BugSmash Website project workflow, not a native Bolt integration. Public URLs and supported Basic Auth sites can use the Website project workflow.
Get client feedback on your published Bolt app
Paste the public bolt.host URL or custom domain, send one review link, and collect contextual comments on the website your visitors will actually open.

Bolt project sharing and published-site review are different workflows.
Bolt provides project collaboration and built-in hosting. The right review URL depends on whether stakeholders need the project workspace or the deployed website.
Four documented boundaries matter before you share a review:
01
Free Bolt sites publish publicly.
Bolt publishes every Free-plan site as public. Paid plans can publish a site publicly or privately for the team and invited viewers.
02
Published changes are controlled.
After publishing, project changes aren't automatically applied to the live site. The owner or a Co-owner uses Publish for the first release and Update for later changes.
03
Project sharing grants workspace roles.
Bolt project collaboration uses Viewer, Editor and Co-owner roles. Collaborators must have a Bolt account and sign in; this link opens the project, preview and code rather than only the visitor-facing site.
04
Custom domains are public-only.
Bolt says a site with a custom domain can only be published publicly. The domain must be disconnected before that site can be published privately.
BugSmash keeps feedback on the rendered release:
share the public browser URL, keep Bolt project permissions with the build team, and use the Feedback Widget when the deployed experience is gated or stateful.
How it works
Three steps to a reviewed Bolt app
11
Publish the website
Use Bolt hosting to create the bolt.host site, or attach a custom domain on a paid plan. Confirm the release has the visibility intended for the review.
22
Send one BugSmash link
Paste the public visitor-facing URL into BugSmash and share the resulting review link instead of granting access to the Bolt project.
33
Update and verify the release
Resolve the comments in Bolt, use Update to publish the changes, and review the same live URL again before approval.
Review the published Bolt app, not the project workspace
Comment on the public release
Attach feedback to the rendered bolt.host site or custom domain visitors will use.
Keep project roles private
External reviewers do not need Viewer, Editor or Co-owner access when the published site is public.
Check responsive layouts
Review desktop, tablet and mobile presentation from the same browser-accessible release.
Capture technical context
Keep the page URL, browser, operating system, viewport and screenshot with each website comment.
Review deliberate releases
Bolt leaves live content unchanged until an owner or Co-owner publishes or updates the site, so each round can target an intentional release.
Use the widget for gated states
Install the BugSmash Feedback Widget when feedback must be collected inside an authorized or stateful app experience.
Which Bolt link should I review?
Use the deployed visitor-facing site whenever possible. Project sharing controls access to the Bolt workspace, while publishing controls access to the website.
Your URL
Review by URL
What to do
Public site on a bolt.host address
Works
Paste the published URL and start the review.
Public site on a custom domain
Works
Paste the connected domain after the latest release is published.
Private Bolt-hosted site
Access-dependent
Only team members and invited viewers can open it. Verify the reviewer can complete Bolt access inside the review, or use a public review release or the widget.
Bolt project-share link
Use the published site
The project link exposes collaboration access, preview and code according to the assigned role. Use the visitor-facing deployment for website review.
Unpublished project preview
Not a public release
Publish an appropriate site before collecting external browser feedback.
App behind application login or SSO
Use the widget
A pasted URL does not bypass application login or SSO. Install the Feedback Widget inside the authorized app experience.
Installing the Feedback Widget on a Bolt app
Add the BugSmash script to the deployed app when reviewers must comment inside a logged-in, role-specific or stateful flow. Bolt project roles and private-site invitations remain separate from the frontend feedback workflow.
The feedback workflow for teams using Bolt
Keep building, project collaboration and release approval distinct while every comment stays attached to the published app.
Route an actionable website comment to the delivery team with its page, selected location, screenshot, browser, operating system and viewport context preserved.
Context stays attached from comment to completion.

Annual Report2025 in review
This year marked our strongest period of growth to date. Revenue climbed 42% year over year while our customer base expanded across eleven new markets, driven by continued investment in product.
Fig 1. Coastal expansion, 2025
Operational efficiency improved as automated workflows reduced manual review time by nearly a third. Looking ahead, we plan to double down on infrastructure, deepen key partnerships, and ship the roadmap our customers have been asking for.
Send the public bolt.host address or connected custom domain that opens the visitor-facing release. A Bolt project-share link opens a collaboration surface with role-based access.
Can anyone open a Free-plan published Bolt site?
Bolt says all published sites on the Free plan are public. Paid plans can choose public or private visibility.
Can I review a Bolt custom domain?
Yes, when the published site is public and the domain is live. Bolt documents custom domains as public-only; disconnect the domain before publishing that site privately.
Will Bolt project changes appear on the live site automatically?
No. Bolt says changes aren't automatically applied after publication. Use Update in the Publish menu when the next release is ready.
Who can publish or update a Bolt site?
Bolt says only the project owner or a collaborator with Co-owner permission can publish, change visibility and manage access to the published site.
Is a Bolt project-share link the same as the published website?
No. Project sharing uses Viewer, Editor and Co-owner roles and can expose the project preview and code. The published site is the deployed visitor-facing website.
Can BugSmash open a private Bolt site or an app behind SSO?
Private Bolt sites remain limited to team members and invited viewers, and a pasted URL does not bypass application login or SSO. Use an appropriate public review release or install the Feedback Widget inside the authorized experience.
Does BugSmash change Bolt publishing or project permissions?
No. Bolt continues to control publishing, site visibility, domains and project roles. BugSmash provides a separate feedback and approval workflow for the rendered website.
Ship Bolt apps without chasing feedback
Paste the public Bolt site URL and send a focused review link without opening the project workspace to every reviewer.
