How to deploy content and programs to the Players (Publishing Content)

To publish instantly:

Click the PUBLISH button to push content updates and program instructions to your players. In fact, it's good practice to click the PUBLISH button whenever you have made changes that you want to show on your screen. 

1. In order to publish updates to your players, you must first select them by clicking their status boxes (these are the boxes that change color according to the player status).
2. Click the PUBLISH button above the Players window (or in the upper right corner of the Playlist window).

Clicking either button opens the Monitoring window and sends an update to each selected player. 

You will see the file transfer progress and the notice of successful completion in the Monitoring window.

Players currently offline (red status) will show the last recorded update date and time information.

Auto publishing updates to your players

When the "DAILY PUBLISH" option is enabled in a player's Technical Profile, the player will receive a daily update at the specified time. When this happens, deferred publishing no longer applies because the player automatically receives all unpublished programming at that time.  Here's an example.  Let's say you have deferred publishing a week in the future and your player's technical profile has the daily publish option enabled at 1:00 AM. The player will receive your deferred update at around 1 AM tomorrow.
