# Publishing (/docs/en/guides/publishing)



**Publishing** is for sharing content with other practices on the [Marketplace](/docs/en/guides/marketplace). It is separate from your own practice's [Library](/docs/en/guides/templates): nothing you write in the Library reaches the Marketplace unless you publish it here. Your role in the publisher is separate from your role in a practice.

## Get publisher access [#access]

**Publishing** appears in the sidebar, under **Manage** (or on its own if you have no practice), when you belong to a publisher, have applied, or have an invitation. Otherwise you can do one of two things:

* **Accept an invitation.** An owner of a publisher invites you by email. Choose **Accept**. You can belong to one publisher at a time.
* **Apply.** Open the **Apply to publish** page at `/apply-to-publish`, enter your name, **Publisher name** and **Publisher handle**, describe what you will publish and where it comes from, choose **Countries**, and choose **Send application**. Salisan reads every application and replies by email.

Owners invite people and choose their roles on the **Team** page. Editors write, submit and take content down. A publisher always needs at least one owner.

## Submit a release [#release]

1. Open **Publishing**, then **Catalog**, and choose **New content**. Pick **Form**, **Report template**, **Email template** or **Skill**.
2. Write and preview the content. Complete titles, descriptions and the translations your countries need.
3. If the content builds on someone else's work, add it under **Sources** and choose **Confirm source**. The source record holds the rights holder, the license and whether practices may copy the content. An unconfirmed source blocks publishing.
4. Choose **Publish**. Under **Available in**, pick at least one country, check the **Source**, and add a **Release note**.
5. Choose the button that reads **Submit** and the version number **for review**.

<Callout type="warn">
  Every release goes to review first, and Salisan's own releases too. Nothing is live on the Marketplace until it is approved. When it is, practices in the countries you chose can find and install it. Check the countries and language completeness before you submit.
</Callout>

In the Catalog, the **In review** tab shows what is waiting. The tiles above the list (**Live**, **In review** and **Drafts**) are filters: choose one to show only those items, and choose it again, or the filter chip under the tabs, to clear it. The **Installs** and **Responses** tiles are readouts only. If the status reads **Changes requested**, fix the issues the reviewer lists and submit again.

## Release an update [#update]

When a version is already live, the dialog asks what kind of change this is.

* **Update** is for wording, typos, translations or a new language. It applies automatically to every practice on that version, with no review by the practice.
* **New version** is for a change in structure. Practices review it before they switch, and analytics keeps the answers of each version apart.

To publish an update you must confirm that the meaning of every question is unchanged. If it changed, publish a new version instead. Responses already collected keep the structure they were collected under.

## Take content down [#takedown]

Choose &#x2A;*Take down…** on a Catalog row. The dialog shows how many times it was installed and how many are in use now. A version waiting for review is cancelled too. Pick one:

* **Unlist** stops new installs. Practices keep using what they installed, and you can choose **List again** later.
* **Recall** is for unsafe content. It turns off every installed copy and cannot be undone. You must give a reason that practices will see, saying what is wrong and what to use instead.

Collections that include the item stay live without it. A collection left with fewer than two live items is unlisted.

## Collections and analytics [#collections]

A collection is a themed set that practices can install together. It is a starting point, not a subscription. Under **Collections**, choose **New collection**, add a title and content from your catalog, pick the countries, and choose **Submit for review**. Saving changes to a live collection sends it back to review, and it leaves the Marketplace until it is approved again.

Choose **Analytics** on a Catalog row to see installs, use, responses, countries and version adoption. The numbers are aggregated and do not identify a practice or a patient.
