Viewing the publish queue

The Publish Queue lists all publish transactions that users have scheduled for publishing actions (publish or unpublish) and publish transactions that have been successfully published and those that have failed. You can filter the items shown in the Publishing Queue or view individual publish transactions.

Before you begin

To view the publish queue, you must have Publish rights for at least one Publication. You can execute and delete publish transactions in the Publications in which you have Publish rights.

To execute and delete publish transactions in Publications in which you do not have Publish rights, you require the Publish Transaction management privilege.
