**What you are seeing**

"Publish all pages" finished but a lot of my space is still unpublished, and nothing said anything was wrong.

---

## Why it happens

Full Sync reads at most 1000 items in one go with no continuation, and a bulk job chain is abandoned once it passes 10,000 items, 50 continuations or about 25 minutes. There is no warning that the run was truncated.

---

## What to do

Run Publish all pages again. Already-published pages are skipped or refreshed cheaply, so repeated runs make progress. For very large spaces, work through the Unpublished list on the Publishing space page in batches (1000 at a time) instead.

## A few things that catch people out

* Cleanup and rebuild stop after 100 pages of 1000 results (about 100,000 items) and only log a warning, so very large spaces are partly processed.
* The Invalid list may return nothing even when pages really are in a missing-source or missing-target state, because its query uses different capitalisation from the values that are stored.
* The background repair job that would fix or remove stale publish properties never runs in production. It is switched off in both the standalone app and the Suite production environment.
