The Bulk Publish tool in Composer lets you publish multiple pages with unpublished changes in a single action, without visiting each page individually. Access it by hovering over any page in the tree and selecting Bulk Publish from the three-dot menu.
đź’ˇQuick answers
- Where is the Bulk Publish tool? Hover over any page in the Composer tree (hover over Home to include all site pages) and click the three-dot menu, then Bulk Publish.
- What does a "Published" bubble mean next to a page in the Bulk Publish window? The page itself has no unpublished changes, but a subpage beneath it does; it appears for organizational context only.
- What does a "New" bubble indicate? The page has never been published before.
- Can you add a comment when bulk publishing? Yes; enter a comment before clicking Publish Selected and it will appear in the page history of every page being published.
It’s easy to see at a glance what pages need to be published by looking at the bands of color indicating page statuses - but if you have a lot of them, you probably don’t want to go through each one to click the publish button. That’s where the bulk publish tool comes in.
Hover over the highest-level page that you want to publish pages under (you can hover over “Home” to bulk publish pages from your entire site or choose a smaller section) and click on the 3-dot menu, then Bulk Publish.
The Bulk Publish window will show any pages on your site with unpublished changes. A page with a Published bubble next to it means there are no changes on that page, but there are changes on a sub-page of that page. It’s appearing on the list simply for organizational purposes. Pages that have never been published before have a yellow New bubble next to them.
Once you have selected all the pages you wish to publish, using the Select All button if desired, you can leave a comment that will appear in the page history of all the pages you’re publishing and click Publish Selected.
