CMS 10.6 Generating Preview Publish Reports via the Assets Manager

Prerequisites:

CMS 10.6 must be installed. See CMS Statistics to check the site version.
Administrators must provide users with publishing permissions or administrator permissions. See Creating Groups for details.
Users must check in the asset items they will publish.
Users must mark the asset items for publish to the appropriate publishing targets. See Marking Assets for Publish for details.

Users can access the CMS 10.6 preview publish report feature to generate a report of asset items, content items, and site folders that the system will include in a publish. The system generates this publishing report fwithout executing actual publishes.

To generate a preview publish report:

Navigate to Assets > Assets Tree.
Choose one of the following steps:
- Select the asset item in the Assets Tree, and select an option from the Publish button drop-down menu in the item's Edit tab toolbar.
  See Publishing from the Site Pane Toolbar for details.
- Right-click the content item in the SAsset Tree, and select Publish(or, if applicable, an option from the Publish submenu) in the context menu.
  See Publishing from the Site Tree for details.
The Publish dialog displays.
Select the Preview Publish - Gather information only checkbox.
Only the Publishing Targets tab displays, and the Enable Replication checkbox becomes hidden.
Select the publishing target for the preview publish report in the Publishing Targets tab.
Note
The CMS can only generate a preview publish report for one publishing target at time.

Select one of the following options.

Important

With the Preview Publish - Gather information only checkbox selected, the system doesn't execute an actual publish. Instead, the system generates the preview publish report based on the publishing type you choose.

Option	Description
Incremental	The preview publish report includes checked-in items that meet the following criteria: The items are marked for publish for the selected publishing targets. The items have modifications since the most recent publish, or the items contain modified dependencies since the most recent publish. Note You can execute an incremental publish for content that is marked but unmodified. See Publishing Types for details.
