# 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.
2. To publish content in a CMS workspace, follow these steps.
    
    1. Open the CMS workspace.
    2. To open the detail page, click the content title.
    3. To publish the content immediately, click **Publish** and **Publish** again.
    4. To publish the content later, click **Schedule Publish**, select a date and time, and click **Create**.
    
    If the content references another content item, such as a banner image, the referenced content is also published.
3. To publish content in an enhanced CMS workspace, follow these steps.
    1. Open the enhanced CMS workspace.

    3. Click **Publish**.
    4. Select any translated variants and referenced content, and click **Next**.
        
        Referenced content items don't appear in the published parent content until they're also published.
    5. To publish the content immediately, click **Publish Now**.
    6. To publish the content later, select **Schedule Publish**, and enter a date and time.
    7. Optional: To make the content available to channels temporarily, select **Schedule Unpublish**, and enter a date and time.
