Publish updates to an existing page

When you publish updates to an existing page, Contribute replaces the currently published version of the page on your website with the new version.

For information on how linked pages are handled during publishing, see The draft review process.

Note: To replace an existing page on your website with a page that has the same filename, delete the existing page on your website (see Delete a web page or blog entry) and then publish the replacement page. If you do not have permission to delete pages, contact your Contribute administrator.

  1. In your draft page, click the Publish button in the toolbar.

    Note: Depending on the role the Contribute administrator assigned you, you might not be able to publish.

    If the draft contains links to any new pages, the Publish New Linked Pages dialog box appears.

  2. If the Publish New Linked Pages dialog box appears, for each unpublished linked page, select the page name, file name, and folder location.

  3. To publish all linked pages with the same workflow as the page being published, select Publish All Dependent Pages Whose Workflow Is The Same As The Main Page.

    Note: For linked pages with a different workflow, the location on the site is finalized, but the pages are not published until their workflow is complete.

  4. To set a different expiry date than the one set by the administrator for the web page, select the date in the Page Expires On option. (Optional.)

  5. Click Publish.

    For more information, see Completing the Publish New Linked Pages dialog box options.

    Contribute publishes the draft (and any new pages it links to) to your website, and then displays it in the Contribute browser.
