The Publish/Unpublish setting [Figure 455] (along with the Pending Changes status [>>]) determines whether a specific custom page, panel, field, or object is visible to users. If a District Administrator adds one of these elements but does not want to display it immediately, he or she can select Unpublish. Unpublish can also be used as an alternative to deleting an element, such as when there is uncertainty about whether the element might be required again at a later date.
When working with page elements, the publish/unpublish status is hierarchical; that is, a field inherits the publish/unpublish status of the panel and the panel inherits the publish/unpublish status of the page.
On the Add/Edit Page page, published/unpublished panels display "Yes" or "No" respectively in the Published column. On the Add/Edit Panel page, published/unpublished fields and objects display "Yes" or "No" respectively in the Display field column [Figure 455].
Figure 455 : Pending changes and publish statuses
| A | When a change is made on the Add/Edit Page page (in this example, a page description was added) and the page is saved, the Manage Page Details page displays "Yes" in the Pending Changes column. The changes do not take effect until the Apply Pending Changes [>>] button is clicked, at which time "No" displays in this column and the changes are saved to the database. |
