Publish an object to make it available to copy into a study

  1. In the library project, at the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Library Information (library information icon) button.
  2. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Items (items icon) button, and expand the InForm Items folder.
  3. In the Project Explorer, right-click the object, and:
    • To publish—Select Publishing, then select Publish.
    • To republish a published object that you modified—Select Publishing, then select Republish.
    • To unpublish a published object—Select Publishing, then select Unpublish.
  4. If prompted, confirm the action you want to take, and click OK.

    Tip:

    • Publish and reuse study objects at the highest-level study object that makes sense. For example, consider publishing and reusing forms rather than individual items, unless you specifically need individual items to be available in a library. A reused form can save you more time than a reused item.
    • Where possible, consider publishing and reusing study events and study elements rather than forms.
    • Consider publishing codelists and codelist items so they can be shared and reused.
