How automatically publishing content works with the Connector's translation workflow – Clay Tablet Technologies

Product: Connector for Sitecore

Version: all versions

Questions

Sitecore has publishing settings for defining when to automatically publish versions and items.

How do these settings interact with the Automatically Publish content when it reaches the Final State parameter in a translation workflow?

Answer

The Connector does not override Sitecore's publishing settings. If the Automatically Publish content when it reaches the Final State parameter in the active translation workflow is selected, then the Connector tries to publish the item to the Web database.

However, Sitecore removes items that the Connector publishes to the Web database in the following scenarios:

if publishing an item has been restricted and the time has passed
if publishing of that item has been restricted and the time has not yet come

For example:

Date Items Publishable	Source in Final State	Source Published	Target in Final State	Target Published
January 10	January 8	Sitecore prevents publication	January 9	Sitecore prevents publication
	January 8	Sitecore prevents publication	January 15	January 15
	January 12	January 12	January 15	January 15
