Maintenance: Publish new Sections

 

This section covers the publishing process of new sections for existing courses on the production environment. If you need to publish a project from the Authoring environment for the first time, please refer to Publishing Overview & Steps.

Once your course is published from the authoring environment it will be copied onto our "live" or production environment.
