Publish Revision
Roles: Reviewer, Admin Plans: Starter, Pro, Advanced, Enterprise
About This Task
When you publish a revision, all its assigned documentation files are uploaded into the cloud, and the revision state is promoted to Processing. Once the upload is completed, the operating personnel can access the documentation files in the EnduraDocs Viewer and Documentation Portal. Now the revision can no longer be edited or demoted. If you find an error in a published revision, you must create a new revision to correct it.
Revision Workflow
The revision workflow describes the progression of a revision from its
creation to its publishing, with all the states and transitions it undergoes. The state
of newly created revisions is Draft. Once an Editor finalizes a revision 
, its state is promoted to
Review. Users with at least a Reviewer role
can either reject 
the
revision to demote its state and the product state to Draft, or
approve the revision 
to
promote its state and the product state to Approved. Once a Reviewer or Admin publishes an approved revision
, it's state and the
product state are promoted to Processing while its documentation files
are uploaded. Once the upload is completed, the revision and product state are
automatically promoted to Online.
