Publishing

Publishing is useful when you want to make a document available, but you do not want others to be able to modify the document. When you publish a document, you maintain control over the source document and can continue to update and make changes to the source that are not visible to users of the publication document. When you are ready to make the new version of the document available to your users, you republish the source document, thereby creating a new version of the publication document.

An example of where this facility is useful is in the use of procedure documents. You want everyone to follow the same procedure, and only want to roll out changes to the procedure when the changes have been thoroughly reviewed and tested. So while your users are using one version of the procedure, you can make changes to the source document, and when you are ready, you can republish the source document.
