Nothing publishes when approvals are approved, and there is no "Publish approved pages" button
What you are seeing
Nothing publishes when approvals are approved, and there is no "Publish approved pages" button.
#Why it happens
You are running the standalone Publishing app. It does not include Approval at all, so an approval can never trigger a publish.
#What to do
Publish on approval needs an app that includes both Publishing and Approval: the Capable Suite or the Capable Approval app. Until then, use manual publishing and bulk runs.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Enable publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Allow manual publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Page structure | Space settings → Publishing → Structure tab | - |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
"Publish all pages" / Full Sync | Reads at most 1000 items in a single que | - |
#A few things that catch people out
Bulk selection and Publish all pages are capped at 1000 items per run, and a bulk run stops once it passes 10,000 items, 50 batches or about 25 minutes. The app does not tell you when a run was cut short, and there is no documented way to resume it, so large spaces need repeated runs.
The "children" setting has no effect. It is stored with your settings but is reserved for future features.
