Save an article for publishing

Save an article for publishing when it is ready to go live in the next site update.

Before you begin

• You need the Editor role or higher on the knowledge base.
• The article needs a title and some content. The option is unavailable if either is empty.
• The article should be in the navigation, or it will not be listed on the site. See Write an article.

Steps

1. In Authoring, open the article and make your changes.
2. Select Save.
3. Select Publish. The menu describes it as Ready for the next site release.

DocSpade confirms with Article published.

Result

• The article’s new content replaces its previous version, and your private draft of it is removed.
• The article is ready to go into the next site update.
• Your readers do not see the change yet. To make it live, publish the site.

If someone else changed the article

If a teammate saved a newer version while you were editing, DocSpade does not overwrite it. Your editor returns to the latest version. Copy any text you want to keep, then make your changes again.
