Publish Content to CMS Channels

In CMS workspaces, publishing a content item makes it immediately available for use in all channels added to the workspace including site channels. If you publish a new version of content that's live, the existing live content is replaced with the new version. You can publish content immediately or schedule a later publication date.

Publishing content in a CMS workspace differs from publishing content in an enhanced CMS workspace. In a CMS workspace, when you publish content, you publish all its translations. In an enhanced CMS workspace, when you publish a translated content variant, the primary content in the default language publishes at the same time.

  1. In Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open the Digital Experiences app.

    1. Open the CMS workspace.

    4. To publish the content later, click Schedule Publish, select a date and time, and click Create.
