Note:
You can also publish an asset from the Assets page.

Oracle Content Management validates the assets by comparing the assets to the approval and localization policies of the channel. If all assets are ready, Oracle Content Management publishes them. The status is shown in the banner.

If any errors occur during publishing, the status shown in the banner includes a link to View Validation.

The validation results list the status of the selected assets, any associated translations, and any dependent assets, showing whether the assets adhere to the approval and localization policies that were set for the channel. You must correct any issues before attempting to publish again. For example, if another version of the asset is already scheduled for publishing, you must schedule publishing for a date later than the previously scheduled publishing.

You can perform the following actions:
- You can filter the results by channel or by status.
- To view an asset in a slide-out panel without leaving the Validation Results page, click next to the asset.
- To remove an asset from publishing, click the X next to the asset.
