Marking/Unmarking Maps from DITA Map Manager

Prerequisites:
  • Administrators must provide users with asset publish marking permissions or administrator permissions. See Creating Groups for details.
  • Users must check in the asset items they will mark for publish. See Checking In Pages for details.
    Caution
    The CMS requires users to check in new content items before they can mark the items for publish. This prevents incomplete content items from displaying in navigations. If users attempt to mark a new checked-out page for publish, the CMS generates the following error message: 
    Cannot mark a Content Item for publish that has no current version, this is probably because the Item has never been checked in: [a/ID].
From DITA Map Manager, administrators can mark or unmark DITA maps. Once a DITA map has been marked/unmarked, all of its dependencies inherit the new state.
Caution
Exercise caution when using the Publish Marking action in the Map Details tab, as this is batch operations that will affect the DITA map and all its dependencies. This action will run immediately upon confirming your publish marking selections. To individually mark or unmark the DITA map and its dependencies to a publishing target, use the Assets Tree context menu.
To mark or unmark a map for publishing from the DITA Map Manager:
  1. Navigate to Administration > DITA > DITA Map Manager.
    The DITA Map Manager displays a list of all DITA maps in the CMS.
  2. Click the View Details button located to the left of the DITA map name to view information specific to that map.

  3. Click the Publish Marking button Publish Marking Button in the Map Details toolbar.
    Note
    If the toolbar options do not display, click the in the hamburger menu to access the options.
    The Change Content Publish Marking dialog displays.
  4. To mark the DITA map and its dependencies for publish, complete the following steps:
    1. Select publishing targets in the Publishing Targets column.
      Tip
      Keep the following in mind.
      • You can select the Search button Search Button in the Publishing Targets column, and enter keywords in the field that displays to search for available publishing targets.
      • You can select the Toggle on Marking on All Targets checkbox to select all available targets for publish markings.

      The selected publishing targets display in the Targets to Mark column, and each selected publishing target associates with a Marked Version field. The system will mark the asset items for publish to the targets within this column.

    2. Note the Marked Version for each publishing target in the Targets to Mark area is automatically set to Current Version.

      Current Version is the only version available to mark because this publish marking action will be applied to the DITA map and all its dependencies. To choose a different version to mark, use the Assets Tree context menu publish marking action instead of the Map Details one.

  5. To unmark the DITA map and its dependencies for publish, clear the checkbox of the publishing target in the Targets to Mark list.
  6. Click Confirm Publish Marking.
