Publication Requirements

You cannot publish a content item unless you have the following:

• Editor or a higher role on the folder containing the content item. Roles are assigned by Administrators and Folder Administrators on an individual basis.
• A presentation template set up to publish complete pages

If workflow is attached to the folder containing the content item (and the content item has not been explicitly excluded from workflow), then the content item must be in a workflow activity that allows it to be published.
