    Note
    If the selected content item doesn't have children, then the Publish context menu option displays without the submenu.

    See CMS 10.6 Generating Publish Preview Reports via Site for details.

    Version Notes: CMS 10.6
    The preview publish report feature is exclusive to CMS 10.6. You can only generate preview publish reports for single publishing targets.

    • Version Notes: CMS 10.5+

      Select the appropriate publishing profile in the Publishing Profiles tab.

    Caution

    Ensure the Preview Publish - Gather information only is cleared before you proceed with this step. Otherwise, the system generates a preview publish report instead of executing the publish.

    Description

    Incremental

    Publishes only checked-in items that meet the following criteria:

    • The items are marked for publish to 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.

    Full

    Publishes all items in the Site Tree and Assets Tree that are checked in and marked for publish, regardless of any changes to the content.

    Note

    We recommend running full publishes for large-scale updates and to avoid peak business hours.
