Info

To Publish:

  • If the component you used is part of a page that has already been published, you can now publish the page that you just inserted the Content Summary template into.

  • If this is a new component that does not exist elsewhere, you must also create a separate page for this component to live in. This page must also be published. 

  • To learn how to build a page, see our instructions section for an Introduction to SDL Tridion
