Publish a content update as you normally would, then enter the administrator settings menu and click the Group Publish option. Click the Group Publish button and follow the instructions.

As a group administrator, you have the ability to publish content updates to each of the child sites in your group simultaneously. This is achieved using the Group Publish feature.

You have two options available to you when using the Group Publish feature.

The Publish Only option, which is the default option, will publish updates to your child sites which will then need to be manually reviewed and accepted by the administrators of each site.

The Publish and Accept Changes for all Child Sites option will publish updates to each of your child sites, but will also automatically accept the changes on each site. Using this method, the administrators of each child site will not see any pending update notifications for the affected modules.

How to use the Group Publish feature

  1. From your parent site, enter administrator view by clicking the view selection button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

     

  2. Click on the ‘Check for updates’ icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen to check for pending CompliSpace content updates.

     

  3. Confirm that there are content updates waiting to be published. Pending content updates are indicated by a number next to the relevant module’s name in the left-hand side menu.

     

  4. Click on this number to open a pop-up window, then click the ‘Update' button in the top right-hand corner.

     

  5. Review the changes and then click the ‘Update’ button in the top right-hand corner of the screen to publish the update. Be aware that this will only publish the update to your parent site.

     

  6. Enter the Settings menu by selecting the settings icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. This will take you to the Context Library page.

     

  7. In the left-hand side menu, select the ‘Group Publish’ option.

     

  8. To begin the Group Publish process, click on the orange “Group Publish” button.

     

  9. In the pop-up window that appears, select either the “Publish Only” option, or the “Publish and Accept Changes for all Child Sites” option. The difference between these two options is described at the beginning of this article.

     

  10. When you are ready to publish your updates, click the orange 'Group Publish' button.

  11. If you have done everything correctly, you should see a confirmation notification at the top of the page
