Publishing Jobs List

When a book is added to the publish list a job is created for the book/output combination. The job includes details on the publishing status, including the date and time the job was submitted, time taken to publish, and current status.

Publishing Jobs Toolbar

The jobs you have selected, and their progress through the publishing cycle, determines which options will be available.

• View Output: You can view the published output for any jobs that show a completed status. Select a job in the All Jobs or Completed tabs and choose View Output.
• Open Folder: You can open the folder containing the files for the published output for any jobs that show a completed status. Select a job in the All Jobs or Completed tabs and choose Open Folder.

  Note: If you have moved or deleted files from the Publishing folder, you cannot view or open them from here.

• Republish: If you need to republish a book just select the completed job in the All Jobs or Completed tab then choose Republish.
• Submit Batch: When you are ready to begin publishing books in the send the job to the publishing queue. The job will be started as soon as previous jobs in the queue have been completed. Select a job in the All Jobs or Pending tabs and choose Submit Batch.
