Publishing from the Edit-Form

While most of the time a publication is done at the page level, it is very usefull to be able to publish a content-item individualy. For instance if several content has been modified in the same page but only one is ready or should be revealed to the visitors, editors will use Jahia's unitary publication capabilities.  This individual publication can be done directly from the Edit-Form.

When content is created or updated, you must publish it to make it available to your visitors. You can request a publication to start a publication workflow, or publish your content immediately, depending on your permissions and role. When you start a workflow, the content is sent to other users for review and approval.

Note: To publish content without review (bypass any workflow), you must have the Publish permission.
