Publishing Content to Fredhopper

To use content for targeting, you must publish these Components to Fredhopper.

Before you begin

The Components that you create for targeting must use Schemas that are linked to Component Templates that instruct SDL Tridion to push the content to Fredhopper when you perform a Publish action. (An implementor creates Schemas for content items that marketers can use to create Components.)

Procedure

  1. In the slide out navigation pane, select Content Explorer.
  2. Select one or more Components and do one of the following:
    • To publish or republish content, click Publish in the toolbar, or right-click the selected items and select Publishing > Publish from the context menu.
    • To unpublish content, click Unpublish in the toolbar, or right-click the selected items and select Publishing > Unpublish from the context menu.
    The Publish dialog appears, showing the Publish settings tab.
  3. Select the Target Types to which you want to publish to.
  4. Click OK to publish.
