Publications

A Publication is a finished output you're producing — for example, a catalog, a set of print ads, or a batch of digital banners. A publication belongs to a Campaign or a Project, and is made up of one or more Publication Items.

Creating a publication

From a campaign's or project's Publications tab, use Add publication and provide:

  • Publication name (must be unique within its campaign or project)
  • Tags
  • Variants, if your team uses Variants — a publication must have at least one
  • Workflow configuration — the Workflow this publication's items will follow; required, and can't be changed casually once items exist
  • Deadline

Working inside a publication

Opening a publication takes you to its workflow screen, where you work with its Publication Items. Depending on the publication's workflow configuration, you'll find tools to:

  • Assign Briefing content to items
  • Lay out items using their template
  • Upload source files (for example, an exported InDesign file)
  • Preview rendered output
  • Review sticky notes (comments) left on items
  • Move items between workflow steps
  • Add pages or spreads
  • Manage export packages

See Publication Items and Workflows for details on how items move through production.
