Bulk publishing pages (and bulk archiving)

CMS Approvers are able to publish (or archive) multiple pages at once. This is useful when you are publishing a new site section for the first time or a publication with child pages (or archiving).

Instructions

1. Navigate to the Content screen. You can find it on the bottom of the Content dropdown menu or as a tab near the top of the Content screen.

2. Apply filters for the site or sub-site your unpublished pages are tagged to: Site, Sub-site, Content type, Department/agency, Published status. (Although on the Moderated content screen you can filter to Needs review, on the Content screen you can only choose published/unpublished. In the table you can see which pages are already archived and which are in draft.)

3. You can

   • select the pages all at once by ticking the checkbox in the header row

   • select pages one at a time.

     Open

     

4. At the bottom of the screen, use the Action dropdown menu to select Publish content or Archive content. You’ll see how many pages you have selected.

5. Click the Apply to selected items button.
