Explicitly publishing a Component

Normally, your Component is published whenever you select Finish Editing. Explicitly publish a Component to schedule or otherwise configure your publish operation, or to publish to another destination than the staging website.

Procedure

  1. On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
  2. Select a Component and in the Manage tab of the ribbon toolbar, select Publish to open the Publish dialog.
  3. You can set a number of options in the Publish dialog:
    1. You can publish to different and/or multiple targets by selecting those targets under Choose One or More Target Types to Publish to.
    2. You can publish the Component 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.
    3. To specify a date and time at which you want the Component to be unpublished from the website (that is, removed from the site), in the Unpublish settings tab, select Schedule unpublish and specify a date and time at which you want the Component to be unpublished from the website, using the same controls as in the Publish content later option.
    4. You can give the publishing of this Component 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.
    5. You can publish this Component also to websites that inherit content from the current website, by selecting the Advanced tab and selecting Also publish/unpublish in Child Publications.
    6. You can see which items are going to be published or republished when you click Publish by clicking Show Items to Publish.
    7. 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 Component is submitted to be published. This means that an attempt is made to republish the current webpage, and possibly other webpages that contain this Component, to the target or targets you specified.
