Normally, your Page is published whenever you select Finish Editing. Explicitly publish a Page to schedule or otherwise configure your publish operation, or to publish to another destination than the staging Web site.
Procedure
- On an editable Web page, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
- Select the Page by clicking on its border, and in the Manage tab of the ribbon toolbar, select Publish to open the Publish dialog.
- You can set a number of options in the Publish dialog:
- You can publish to different and/or multiple targets by selecting those targets under Choose One or More Target Types to Publish to.
- You can publish the Page at another time than now by selecting Publish Content Later in the Publish Settings tab to display a date and time selector. Click the Calendar icon to pop up a date picker and set the date and time at which you would like the publishing process to start.
Note: The moment you specify is the moment at which the publishing process will start. If publishing takes a long time, it may appear on the Web site much later than the date and time you specify.
- To specify a date and time at which you want the Page to be unpublished from the Web site (that is, removed from the site), in the Unpublish settings tab, select Schedule unpublish and specify a date and time at which you want the Page to be unpublished from the Web site, using the same controls as in the Publish content later option.
- You can give the publishing of this Page priority over the publishing of other content being published at the same time by selecting the Advanced tab and selecting Override publish/unpublish priorities and setting the priority to high.
- You can publish this Page also to Web sites that inherit content from the current Web site, by selecting the Advanced tab and selecting Also publish/unpublish in Child Publications.
Note: This option only appears if there are other Web sites that inherit content from this Web site.
- You can see which items are going to be published or republished when you click Publish by clicking Show Items to Publish.
- When you have selected the target or targets and you have set any options you might want to apply, click Publish to submit the Component for publishing.
Results
This Page is submitted to be published. This means that an attempt is made to republish the current Web page, to the target or targets you specified.
Note: It may take some time before your changes appear on the Web page. If you find that your updated content takes too long to appear, consult your application administrator. It may be that your update is pending review and will not appear until your reviewer has approved it. And, of course, if you use the Publish content later option to specify a later time at which to publish the Pag, publishing will not start until that time.
Note: Publishing may fail for a number of reasons, for example:
- because you are not authorized to publish
- because too many items are being published at the same time
- because the target of the publish action is offline
You can check the status of your publish action by selecting Publishing Queue in the Manage tab. This opens a dialog in which you can check the publish status of items submitted for publishing.
