Troubleshooting
The Publish button is missing in institutional content
Causes and fixes related to the content's status, review approval and permissions when a page, news item or institutional document shows no Publish button.
The Publish button depends on the content's status, your installation's review approval rule and your permissions. Check the causes below in order.
The content is not saved yet
On new content, the publication card appears after the first save. Press Save first.
There is nothing to publish
On a published page with no saved changes, the button is hidden. Once you save a change, the button appears as Publish changes. You change the publication date of a published news item with Change publication date.
The content is archived
An archived page is read-only and cannot be published. An archived news item or document can be published again.
Review approval is on
If review approval is on in your installation, content is published only after review. Press Send for review first.
You sent the content to review
If the card says that another editor will publish the content, you sent it to review yourself. Ask another editor to publish it. The reasoning behind the rule is in Four-Eyes Principle.
You do not have the publish permission
If the card says that you cannot publish, send the content to review. The publish permission belongs to the Content editor and System administrator roles.
