Any changes you make in Tridion Beatrix CMS will not affect your site on the web until you publish. Publishing takes the latest saved versions of a page and any components content item on that page and updates the information currently on your site.
The following instructions will provide information on publishing content on your website through Tridion.

Unless making a very small change, such as fixing a typo, it is strongly recommended that you publish to the preview server prior to publishing live, in case the page does not look exactly like you want it to. This way you can review your changes before affecting the publicly accessible site. Only go "live" when you're ready and have received necessary approvals from those in your department who are involved with the site. |
Using the Publishing Queue
Immediately after sending pages or sites to be published, you can check its status in the Publishing Queue. Look for the "Publishing Queue" icon in the home tab, and click on it.
You will be taken to a new page, shown below:
...
The Publishing Queue.
Once in the Publishing Queue, select your user name from the drop down menu to the left (highlighted above in yellow).
Click on Show Tasks to the right, and Tridion will populate all of the items you have sent to be published.
Most items take 1-2 minutes to be published, but if you have a considerable amount of multimedia content (such as images, videos or PDFs) it may take longer.
If the status reads "Success," your edits were published successfully! If it says "Failed," you will have to correct something on your page. Common scenarios that result in failures are:
There is a high volume of items being published in Tridion from several editors at YSM.
Try to publish during off-peak times, which are typically in the morning and early afternoon, and only publish one page at a time.
On the page you are trying to publish, there is a multimedia component that has the same file name as a different component you've used elsewhere on your site.
File names are different than the component names you enter when uploading multimedia content into Tridion.
There is an error in the page or structure group directory fields.
Check for extra spaces, mislabeled prefixes, etc.
