Understanding publication workflow

This topic gives an overview of the different workflows of publication outputs

Publish workflow
The publish workflow starts with creating the new publication output for which you want to trigger a publish and results in a publication output with one of the following statuses:
  • Draft
  • Failed
  • Release candidate

Cancelling a publish

When an user triggers a publish, that same user can cancel its publish request. This will force the publish to stop (as soon as possible).

Out-of-date publications

When an user updates one of the key fields on the publication, all finished publications will be marked as out-of-date and all publish request will finish with an out-of-date publication.

Releasing a publication

Before releasing the publication, the publish must result in a publication output with status "Release candidate".

Releasing the publication itself consists out 2 steps:
  • Freezing the baseline
  • After freezing the baseline, the publication output can be released
