This box should remain checked.

Destinations

• Web Server - Staging should remain checked.
• Web Server - Delivery can be unchecked if you only want to publish to stage.
  This is appropriate if you are still reviewing a page or want to share a preview link with a manager or colleague. Note: Not all users have the permissions to publish to delivery.

When you submit a publishing job, a pop-up will show: "Page queued for publish. View publish queue." You can click on View publish queue to see the progress of the publishing job.

To check the publishing queue from any page, click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the upper right corner and click Publish Queue.

Delivery (live)

If you published to delivery, bring up the page in your browser and hit the refresh button. 

Stage

Note: You need to be on the UCSD network (or using VPN 2-Step Secured - allthruucsd) to view staging sites.

If you published an existing page to stage only: Bring up the live page add "stage-" to the beginning of the URL.

If you published a new page to stage only:

1. The staging site URL will start with http://stage-sitename.ucsd.edu. For example: http://stage-blink.ucsd.edu
2. Copy the breadcrumb of the page from the CMS (not including the site name) and append that onto the end of the URL
3. Add ".html" to end:
   • Ex: /_draft/allisa-becker/article
   • URL: http://stage-blink.ucsd.edu/_draft/allisa-becker/article.html

When you try to publish, if you see this error:

it means that this file (or a folder that contains this file) has publishing disabled. You will need to check if the page and/or any folders containing it is enabled for publishing. A common scenario is trying to publish a news item for your home page. In that case, publish the actual page (/index) not the news block. 

Anyone with access to your site could accidentally publish your unfinished page:

• if the parent folder is published
• during routine maintenance (for example, all of Blink and TritonLink are published over the weekend).

You can disable a page from being published to the live site, protecting your unfinished content until it is ready.
