Publishing Areas

Prerequisites

At least one page in the area has been published.

Context

You publish areas to make their contents available to end users. When changes are made to the contents or structure of an area, you republish the area to update the previously published content.

Procedure

  1. To publish an area, select the area and choose Publish.

    Pay attention to the following:

    • The area is only made available to end users if it is connected to a portal role. If you publish an area before it is connected to a role, you do not have to publish the area again once the connection has been made.

    • Publishing an area does not publish the content in the area. You must publish each object in the area separately.

    • You need to republish the area if you change the order of its content or delete an object in the area. You do not have to republish an area after you add content.

    • If you schedule the publication of pages in the area, you must wait until after the first publication date before you can publish the area.

  2. Define end user permissions. For more information, see Defining End-User Permissions .
