Once content is created, it must be published to be available for your users in the Apty Client on your application.
Any content created using Apty Studio or the Admin Portal can be in one of the following states.
Publishing State | Description | ||
Indicates that the content is created, published, and is available for the users of the hosting application in the Apty Client. | |||
Indicates that the content is created, but not available for the users of the hosting application in the Apty Client. | |||
The blue dot indicates one of the following alerts: 1. The content has been updated or modified and it's latest version needs to be published before the users of the hosting application who may access it using the Apty Client.

You can publish Apty content in two ways:
- With Content Review and Approval feature enabled.
- With Content Review and Approval feature disabled.
With Content Review and Approval feature enabled
Content development can sometimes be challenging and contain opportunities for enhancement. As a solution, you can enable the Content Review and Approval feature which helps you to request the content for review and approval before publishing them in your environments.
This way you can ensure a risk-free content creation process and publish the content to your environment only if it has been approved. This will establish a secure environment for content development, reduce errors, allow Approvers to evaluate the content's quality, and accelerate process completion.
Note: Content Review and Approval is a feature flag. Reach out to your Apty representative to enable this feature for your application. |
The process of Content Review and Approval typically consists of two stages:
Stage 1: Create Content and Request for Approval
Stage 2: Review Content and Approve for Publish
With Content Review and Approval feature disabled
You can publish your content through the Apty Studio or the Admin Portal without enabling the Content Review and Approval feature for your application. In this case, Admins and any user with the Publisher role can publish the content.
