Publishing a Book From the Library Explorer or Editor

When you're ready to publish your document, simply tell Author-it to publish the output formats you need. You may do this several times during the process of creating a document, while you make changes to the document after review. Overall, though, you will spend far more time creating and editing your document than publishing its outputs.

Note: Books must be added to a profile before they can be published.

To Publish a Selected Document:

1. Open the Book in the Editor, choose Publish > Publish To, then select the profile.

   -or-

   Select the Book in the Library Explorer, then:

   • Right-click and choose Publish To, then select the profile

     -or-

   • In the main window choose Publish > Publish To, then select the profile.
2. Progress is shown as Author-it publishes the selected Book.

   

   The whole process may take anywhere from seconds to hours, depending on the size and complexity of your document and the performance of your computer.

Note: Publishing works on the concept of submitting, queuing, and then publishing jobs. When you submit a job, the Publisher is launched to process that job. While it is publishing, you can submit further jobs which are added to a queue. Once the Publisher finishes the current job, the next job in the queue is started.
