Publishing a document creates a copy of the document that can have a different location, different security, and a different file format (such as PDF or HTML). The published document can be dependent on the original document, causing the published document to be automatically deleted when the original document is deleted. These behaviors are defined in the publish template. Through the use of a custom event subscription, a document can be published each time it is checked in.
NOTE If you are publishing a multi-content document, only the primary document is published. See Manage a multi-content document for more information.
To publish your document
NOTE If you add a zero-byte file to an object store or folder, the file size changes to two bytes. The Publish Document wizard will publish this blank document.
