Find out how to publish pages, files and folders within the campus CMS.
Publish a page, file or folder
Steps
- Navigate to the page or folder you want to publish
- Click Publish in the upper right
- The publish screen will pop up. The first line will tell you whether the asset is set to publish to Staging, Delivery, or both. To change these settings, click View Publish Settings and check or uncheck the boxes under Destination.
- Staging is the preview or staging site. Always leave this checked.
- Delivery is the live site. Uncheck "delivery" if you are still reviewing a page or want to share a preview link with a manager or colleague. Leave "delivery" checked if you want to publish to the live site. Note: Not all users have the permissions to publish to delivery.
- For basic, immediate publishing, click Submit.
See below for how to publish at a later date and time.
Publishing rules
- You can publish a single page, a folder, or the entire site though we recommend publishing the smallest number of files at a time because there is only one publish queue per site.
- For Blink and TritonLink: Do not publish the entire site. It will take hours, and these sites are published every weekend already.
- You don't need to publish blocks or homepage_internal assets. Instead, you publish the page they appear on.
- When you publish a folder, all pages within that folder will also be published unless you set them to not publish.
- When you create a new page or folder in your site, you have to publish the parent folder in order for your new content to appear in the left-hand navigation. If your new page or folder is at the first (top) or second level, you will need to republish the entire site for the new content to show up in the top navigation that is displayed on every page.
