-
In the List view, select the drawings that you want to publish.
-
Grant access to the drawings by using either the Subscribe Access or Assign Ownership commands.
-
Click Workshare > Publish. If you used the Assign Ownership command in the previous step, the Publish process is launched automatically.
-
On the Publish dialog box, you can click View Log to see the history of the Workshare operation just completed.
-
If you are using connected Workshare, drawings need to be extracted if the files need to be transmitted manually in a case where the default publishing method is through the database. For details, see Extract Published Drawings.
-
If you are using standalone Workshare and changes have been made to the reference data, be sure to use the Publish Standalone Package command in SmartPlant Engineering Manager to bundle the database reference data for synchronization with the satellite.
-
Linked or embedded files are not transferred by Workshare. Those files must be transferred manually. We do not recommend using linked files in a Workshare collaboration.
-
You can schedule the selected drawings for publishing at a later time or on a regular interval by using the Schedule Publish command in Drawing Manager and following the prompts on the Schedule Task Wizard.
-
When using Workshare in an integrated environment, satellites must transfer drawing ownership back to the host in order for the host to publish the drawings and in order for retrieved documents to have tasks updated within the satellite drawings.
