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.
To mark (or unmark) a map for publishing from the DITA Map Manager:
  1. Navigate to Administration > DITA > DITA Map Manager view.
    The main view, which contains an aggregate of all DITA maps under the DITA root folder, displays.
  2. Click the appropriate radio button to the left of each DITA map name to access details associated with each DITA map.
    The DITA Map Details view displays.
  3. In the DITA Map Details toolbar, click the Publish Marking button.

    Note
    To save space in the UI, the check out/in UI controls display on some devices as an option in the hamburger menu .
    The Change Content Publish Marking dialog displays.
