Canceling a publish transaction

Cancel a transaction by deleting it from the Publishing Queue.

Before you begin

You can cancel a publish transaction that you initiated as long as it is not yet in progress. To cancel a publish transaction that is already in progress, you must be a system administrator (that is, you have the System Administration Privilege).

To cancel a publish transaction that you did not initiate requires additional rights or privileges. Specifically, you must have either the System Administration Privilege or the Publish Transaction Privilege

Procedure

  1. On the Manage tab of the Ribbon toolbar, click Publishing Queue.
  2. Locate and select the transaction you want to cancel.
  3. Select Remove from the Publish Queue.
  4. On the Publishing Queue toolbar (or on the context menu), click Remove from the publish queue.

Results

The publish transaction is cancelled and removed from the Publishing Queue.
