Tip

Instead of saving each child page as Needs review you can save time by adding the number of child pages ready for publishing in the revision log message of the Publication landing page.

e.g. ‘Please publish this publication. It contains 10 child pages and 7 grandchild pages.’

Inform us of embargoed or time-critical content in the comments. The publication can be scheduled to go live at a date/time in the future.
