Publishing Promotions
In a data replication environment promotions created on the editing system need to be published to the target system. This is performed either automatically in the context of the regular data replication process (see What Is Data Replication? or Data Replication Task Management) or manually designating promotions to be published on the live system.
Manually publishing promotions (that is, publishing your promotion to a live system immediately) can be performed in two ways:
-
Selecting a promotion to publish from a list
-
Publishing the promotion from the detail view.
