-1. Under "Custom domain", type your custom domain, then click **Save**. If you are publishing your site from a branch, this will create a commit that adds a `CNAME` file directly to the root of your source branch. If you are publishing your site with a custom {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow, no `CNAME` file is created, so you need to create one manually (containing only a line of text with your custom domain).

     * To create an `ALIAS` or `ANAME` record, point your apex domain to the default domain for your site. {% data reusables.pages.default-domain-information %}
     * To create `A` records, point your apex domain to the IP addresses for {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %}.
