Browse a publication

Use a publication to inspect records as published, even after Live changes. See Publications for snapshot contents and status.

Open the snapshot

1. Open an application in the intended workspace. Check Workspace in the sidebar.
2. Choose Publications above the records. The list is newest first. Read the number, model release, publication time and publisher; Current identifies the designated snapshot. Choose Load older publications if the one you need is further back.
3. Choose Open publication beside the intended entry. Check the purple banner for the publication number and model release. It says the records are read-only.

Above: Graubünden has one publication, made after the abbreviation correction.

Find and inspect the record

1. Choose a collection or view in the snapshot’s navigation. It uses the saved model’s definitions, so its available views may differ from Live.
2. Search or filter as you would when finding records. Open the record to read its fields and relationships. An empty result means no records match those filters in this snapshot; clear them before concluding the record was absent.
3. Use Back to publications to return to the list, or Live to inspect today’s data. Check the banner again before making a correction in Live.

Above: Thusis Süd reads THSD in Publication 1. The purple banner keeps the snapshot context visible.

If the list says No publications yet, the workspace has not had a successful publication. If loading fails, retry. If you need to prepare a correction based on a snapshot, use its menu’s Start a change set from this publication where permitted; opening the snapshot itself never restores or changes live data. Follow Prepare and publish a change set for the editing and review that follows.
