Publishing

You publish Content Manager items to make content available on a Web site. You need to republish items when you update content, or unpublish content when you want to take it offline.

You can publish the following Content Manager items:

  • Publications
  • Structure Groups
  • Pages
  • Components
  • Multimedia Components
  • Categories and Keywords
  • Component Templates
  • Page Templates

When you publish these items, the Content Manager publishes the following items:

  • One or more Pages
  • One or more dynamic Component Presentations

Published Pages combine the Page Template and Component Presentations:

  • A Page Template determines where, how, and which Component Presentations are rendered and also often includes navigation and branding features
  • A Component Presentation combines a Component or Multimedia Component, with a Component Template. The (Multimedia) Component contains the content, while the Component Template determines how and which content from the Component is rendered.
