Publishing means that all your configurations will be moved to the Staging environment or to the Production environment, depending on where you publish to.
You can Publish to Staging to prepare for executing a test of your campaign. Publishing to Production means you can prepare the execution of your outbound communications for live recipients.
It's important to remember that once a 'Publish' is done, it can't be undone. Also, you can only Publish from the Staging environment.
In this article, you'll learn more about:
When is a Publish to Production needed?
A Publish to Production is necessary when you've finished testing your campaign on Staging and are ready to go live on Production. You'll also need to Publish to Production if you have made any changes to a Flow that's already live. You can read more about Agillic's best practices in configuring live Flows here.
Types of Publish
There are three publishing options:
- A Changes Publish will publish all changes made on the instance since the last publish.
- A Partial Publish will give you the option to select what you want to publish.
- A Full Publish will publish everything and update all existing configurations and Flows from Staging to Production.
How to do a Changes Publish to Production
- Hover over the Publish button in the top bar. The option to choose 'Publish to Staging' or 'Publish to Production' will appear.
- Select 'Publish to Production'. The Publish button will change to reflect that it is currently publishing.
Once your publish is complete, a message appears on the screen confirming that your Publish was successful.

How to do a Partial Publish to Production
- Hover over the Publish button in the top bar.
- Click on 'More publishing options and logs'.
- In the drop-down menu 'Publish to', select 'Production'.
- In the drop-down menu 'Publish type', select 'Partial'.
- An additional work area with checkbox options to select will appear. Check the checkboxes for items you'd like to Publish. To ensure that only items that shouldn't be published are deselected, we recommend clicking 'Select all' and then deselect the items you don't want to Publish.
- If you have several language versions, you can choose to publish them as well by checking the checkboxes.
- Click on the 'Publish' button.
Once your publish is complete, a message appears on the screen confirming that your Publish was successful.

How to do a Full Publish to Production
- Hover over the Publish button in the top bar.
- Click on 'More publishing options and logs'.
- In the drop-down menu 'Publish to', select 'Production'.
- In the drop-down menu 'Publish type', select 'Full'. If you have several language versions, you can choose to publish them as well by checking the checkboxes.
- Click on the 'Publish' button.
A Full Publish will be slower than a 'Changes' or a 'Partial' publish as it includes all items in the entire instance.

What is a Failed Publish?
A Failed Publish can happen on both Staging and Production. If a publish failed, an exclamation mark will appear next to the 'Publish' button and a notification will inform you about the failed publish in the bottom of the 'Publish' menu.
When a publish has failed, the next publish you will make will automatically be a Full Publish.
If you experience a Failed Publish to either Staging or Production and have questions about it, don't hesitate to contact the Product Specialists in Agillic Support.
