Publishing process

Publishing

Publishing in Author-it Cloud takes place in the Publishing, Author and Files workspaces.

Which publishing tasks are completed in which workspace?

Author

  • set up publishing profiles, templates and styles for outputs including variant rules.
  • send your books to the publishing queue.

Publishing

In Publishing (directly from the Primary navigation) you can:

  • see lists of your publishing jobs
  • filter publishing jobs by date
  • download your publishing jobs
  • view logs for your publishing jobs
  • delete a publishing job.

Files

  • View all your published outputs.

Note: While you can create and modify publishing profiles in Author-it Cloud, you cannot create Publishing Profile actions. If you need to add actions, log a support call with your requirements.

Process

  1. The job is submitted to the publishing server.
  2. The server creates a notification when the job is complete, or if the job fails.

You will receive an email notification from Author with links to view the log or download the output files.

In Publishing from the Primary navigation you will be able to view the links to the logs and output files.

After they're published, the output files appear in Files.
