18 How do I publish an approved asset?

WebCenter Sites Help

If you are assigned the Publisher role, you can trigger an on demand publish on an asset after you approve it. This enables your changes to immediately hit the website, instead of having to wait for a scheduled publish or for your administrator to publish it.

To publish an approved asset from the Contributor interface:

1. From the Contributor interface, select the site containing the approved asset you want to publish.
2. Find and open the asset you want to publish.
3. In the asset's toolbar, click the Publish icon (this icon is the same as the Approve icon, however, if you are assigned the Publisher role, the tooltip below the icon displays Publish when you point to it). In the menu that opens below the Publish icon, select a publishing destination.

   Note:

   If the Publish icon is not available, then the Publisher role is not assigned to your user name. In this case, contact you administrator.

4. Select the assets you want to publish.
5. Click Approve and Publish.

   Note:

   If a scheduled publish is currently in progress, the publish session is queued and will start as soon as the scheduled publish is complete.

6. In the dialog box, click Yes.
   A message opens confirming that the Publish is in progress.
7. To check the status of the asset, click Check Status in the message bar.
   The Your Publish Sessions list opens.
