Publications

Publications define the content context used for review and publishing, usually through a DITA map and optional filtering settings.

Authors use publications to define a logical documentation set inside a project. A publication usually identifies the DITA map that organizes the content and can also include filtering settings.

Publications are important because they provide context. They can be used when preparing content for review and when configuring deliverables for publishing.

What a Publication Defines

  • The main DITA map for the documentation set.
  • Optional filtering conditions for profiled content.

A publication is used as a TOC for editing and also as a reusable content context for review and publishing workflows.

Why Authors Need Publications

Without a publication, it is harder to define exactly which content should be reviewed or published. Publications help authors work with a clear and repeatable content scope.
