Assigning publish states to files and folders

You can assign three different publish states to files or folders in a site--"publish never," "publish always," and "publish if referenced." You can then use the Honor Publish State option in the Site Upload/Sync Time preferences or site-specific settings to use the publish state to determine which files or folders in a site to upload to a Web server. (See Setting upload options or Publishing workgroup sites.)

To assign a publish state to a file or folder:

1. Do one of the following:
• Select the file or folder in either the Files or Extras tab in the site window.
• Select the file in the navigation or links view.
2. In the File tab of the Inspector, choose a publish state for the file or folder from the Publish menu.
