Publishing Libraries

If you have never published a particular library, publishing entails creating a public copy of your local library in the database. If you are republishing a library, the contents of the local library will replace the existing public version's contents. After republishing, you can update this library in any other stream sessions so that their local versions are in sync with the public version. Even though you can publish a library, a local version is always stored in the session .

Important! If you make changes to your local library and, in the meantime, the public version of the library was also changed, your library is considered to be out of sync. We recommend that you begin by updating the local version with the public changes, make any changes that you want, and then publish your local version again to make both versions identical. If you make changes and publish first, you will overwrite any changes in the public version.

To Publish Local Libraries to the Database

1. From the menus, choose Resources > Publish Libraries. The Publish Libraries dialog box opens, with all libraries in need of publishing selected by default.
2. Select the check box to the left of each library that you want to publish or republish.
3. Click Publish to publish the libraries to the Manage Libraries database.
