How do I publish content entries?

Content entries start as drafts. Publishing makes them available through the Content API so your app can fetch and display them.

Draft vs. published

Status	Visible in dashboard	Visible via API	Editable
Draft	Yes	No	Yes
Published	Yes	Yes	Yes

Editing a published entry updates it immediately — there's no separate "re-publish" step for content entries (unlike translation keys which require explicit publishing to CDN).

Publishing a single entry

From the editor

1. Open the content entry
2. In the metadata sidebar, change Status from "Draft" to "Published"
3. Click Save (or it auto-saves)

From the entry list

1. Go to Integrations → Content CMS → your model
2. Find the entry in the list
3. Click the three-dot menu → Publish

Bulk publishing

To publish multiple entries at once:

1. Go to your content model's overview
2. Select the entries you want to publish
3. Click Publish selected

This is useful when you've created a batch of content (e.g., all articles for a new help section) and want to make them all live at once.

Publishing via MCP

AI agents can publish entries programmatically:

"Publish the blog post 'my-first-post'"
→ publishContentEntry({ entryId: "...", project: "acme/dashboard" })

"Publish all draft help articles"
→ bulkPublishEntries({ entryIds: [...], project: "acme/dashboard" })

Unpublishing

To take an entry offline, change its status back to Draft. It will immediately become unavailable via the Content API, but the content is preserved — you can republish it later.

Content vs. translation publishing

	Translation publishing	Content publishing
Mechanism	Explicit "Publish" button → CDN upload	Status change to "Published"
Propagation	~60 seconds (CDN cache)	Immediate (API reads from DB)
Rollback	Publish snapshot restore	Change status back to Draft
Scope	All approved translations at once	Per-entry
