Items to Publish
Items to Publish shows you which items will be published as a result of your publish action.
The Items to Publish expandable area appears when you are publishing a content item and select Show Items to Publish in the Publish dialog. Depending on the type of item you are publishing, any number of other items may be republished as part of the publish process.
For example, say you modify the product description of a car (a Component) on a webpage. After modifying the Component, you republish it. This may cause the webpage on which you were editing to also be republished. Not only that: any other webpage on the site that contains the Component in any form (such as a product list page that only contains the make and model of the car, taken from the same Component) might also be republished.
In addition, items contained in the Component may also get published or republished, such as an image file (which is a separate Multimedia Component in Content Manager).
The expanded Items to Publish area shows which items will be published as part of the publish action you are executing.
The area shows for each item:
- The Content Manager name of the item. This may or may not correspond to the name or title of the item on the webpage.
- The Target to which the item will be published, that is, the Publication Target(s) contained in the Target Type(s) you selected above.
- The location of the item in Content Manager. If you have access to the Content Manager Explorer interface, this path enables you to locate the item.
To collapse this area, click Hide Items to Publish below the list.
