Approved content and sections will publish to the website.

Pending content and sections will not publish to the website.

Publish Branch

The 'Publish branch' feature will publish a section and all of its subsections.

If you have made several changes on different sections, you can go to the action menu of your home page, choose 'Publish branch', and all the changes will be published.

Certain sections are interconnected with navigation objects. They will only publish if the whole branch is published.
Examples of navigation object pages are:

  • left_sidebar
  • right_sidebar
  • staff_deirectory_entries
  • Faculty_and_Staff

If 'Publish section' doesn't seem to be working, publish your branch.
