Publish

Publishing is the vital stage of creating or maintaining a document where you produce a tangible result which you can distribute to your adoring readers.

Author-it uses Publishing Profiles to determine:

• which outputs a book can be published to
• which users can publish using that profile
• the release states content must be in for it to be included
• the templates, media objects, and/or external files that are used to control formatting and layout

These profiles are fully customizable, and you can create as many additional profiles as you need to suit your requirements and your deliverables.

Typically, information like this would be published as a help file and a printed manual.

1. Select the Publish tab on the Navigation pane.

   The Publishing Console opens.
