Publish Queue

Publish Queue

Table of Contents


Objective

This guide explains how to use the Publish Queue in Cascade CMS to track the status of publish jobs — including content that is scheduled, pending, failed, or completed.


When to Use This Process

Use this guide when you need to:

  • Monitor the status of a publish request

  • Confirm if content has successfully published

  • Troubleshoot publish issues

  • Understand the timing of scheduled publishes


Before You Start

  • You must be logged in to Cascade CMS

  • You have submitted at least one publish job

  • You want to check status, success, or errors of the publish operation


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access the Publish Queue

  1. Navigate to the Publish Queue from the top toolbar.

    • While in a site, the Publish Queue will appear in the hamburger menu (☰).

       

  2. Click Publish Queue to open the list of current and recent publish jobs.


Step 2: Review Publish Jobs

In the Publish Queue, you will see a list of publish jobs, each with the following details:

  • Name of the asset publishing or queued to publish

  • User who initiated the publish

  • Date and time added to queue

  • % Done

 

Step 3: Take Action on Publish Jobs

Depending on status and your permissions, you may be able to:

  • Cancel a pending or in-progress job

    • Select a job from the list, using the radio button on the far left.

    • Click the Delete button (trash can).

  • Reorder jobs in the Publish Queue

    • Select a job from the list and use the arrow buttons to move it up or down in the queue.

You can also drag-and-drop publish jobs into position in the list. In-progress publish jobs can't be reordered.


Best Practices

✔ Check the Publish Queue after submitting large or multi-destination publish jobs
✔ Always confirm that linked assets (images, PDFs) are published before the page
✔ Use staging publishes first for review before final production publishing


Success Checklist

Before completing this task, confirm:

You opened the Publish Queue
You located your recent publish job
You verified the publish status
You viewed error details if a job failed
