To publish from Content Manager to Content Delivery, you must configure an output format. After it is created, it is available in Publication Manager to add as output for your publications. The name of this output format is Content Delivery.
Before you begin
You must have Administrator access to the
Content Manager web client. In
Content Delivery, you must create a user that belongs to a group that has the Manage Pubs permission. You do not need to have a publication nor a language version configured in
Content Delivery; the publish process creates them for you. It is also recommended that you have your skin added to
Content Delivery before you begin this procedure; if you do not, the default skin is the
base skin.
