  • Click  when the changes you've made to your site are ready for your learners to see.

Typically, publishing request takes only a few minutes to complete, but can take longer if there are other publishing requests ahead of yours, or if the publishing service has been intentionally paused for some reason (e.g., a new release of the Learner Community software is in progress). Contact your administrator if publishing still hasn't completed after 60 minutes.

Publishing first performs some basic validations; you'll be notified if there are any warnings (you can decide to publish anyway) or errors (you must resolve the issue before you can publish). If publishing proceeds, an automated request is queued for the site to be published to the Live environment.
