Preparing Assets for Publishing

Marking assets for publish associates them with a specific publishing target or targets. Once marked, assets are published to these targets when your organization runs a publish.

Note: Assets must be checked in prior to marking for publish.

To check in an asset:

• Navigate to Assets > Assets Tree.
• Right-click an asset or folder in the Assets Tree.
• Select Check In
• Your asset is now checked in and ready to be marked for publish.
• To check in multiple items within your folder, you may also right-click on the folder that contains those assets to be checked in, and select Folder and Children.
  
  
• The Check-in Asset Folder and Children dialog box appears.  Click Check in Asset Folder and Children.
  

To mark an asset for publish:

• Navigate to Assets > Assets Tree.
• Right-click the asset or folder in the Assets Tree.
  Note: To select multiple, adjacent assets in the Assets Tree, drag your mouse across the assets that you want to select. Otherwise, use Ctrl+click to form a group of selected assets, no matter if they are adjacent or not, to be marked for publish.
• Select Mark/Unmark for Publish. The Mark/Unmark assets for publish dialog displays.
  Note: If the item is a folder, then Mark/Unmark Descendant Assets for Publish displays instead of Mark/Unmark for Publish.
  
• Select the Live checkbox in the Marked for Publish column to associate the asset with the publishing target for the live website.
• Click OK.

  
  

You will then want to publish your asset(s) to the live website, in order for them to be view.  Learn more on how to do that here.

⭐ Pro Tip: If you complete this process in this article PRIOR to publishing the page(s) your asset(s) is associated to, publishing the page will automatically publish the associated asset(s).
