About publishing, republishing, and unpublishing

You must publish study objects that were created in a library to allow users to search for them in the Libraries Browser. You can publish, republish, and unpublish study objects only in a library. You must save a study object before you publish or republish it.

In a library, you can publish any of the following.

Study objects that you can publish

What to publish	Notes
A single study object.	When you publish a study object, you publish its most recent version or revision.
A study object and its child study objects.	When you publish a form and its children, sections on the form are also published. Publishing child study objects is not supported for mappings. If you modify a study object or one of its children, you can use the republish option to publish the study object and its children again. If you copy a study object with child study objects from the Libraries Browser to a study or library, the child study objects are also copied, regardless of whether they are published.
All study objects.

Note: To prevent users from finding study objects using the Libraries Browser, unpublish the study objects.
