# Publish Now option in Patch My PC Publisher
*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V3.x*\
*Available at level: All Custom Products, All Products, Vendor, Product*\
*Available on tab: WSUS Updates, ConfigMgr Apps, Intune Apps, Intune Updates*
The **Publish Now** right-click option in Patch My PC (PMPC) Publisher allows you to selectively publish one or more specific products during the next manual publishing service sync.
When used, only the selected products are evaluated and processed during the next manual publishing service sync.
Selective Sync is designed to reduce processing time and scope when a full evaluation of all products is unnecessary.
## How Selective Sync Works
By default, running a [manual publishing service sync](/patch-my-pc-publisher/manage/sync-tab/schedule/sync-status.md#run-publishing-service-sync) causes Publisher to evaluate every enabled product across all platform tabs. In environments with a large number of products, this can take a significant amount of time.
When Selective Sync is enabled for a product, Publisher flags it for inclusion in the next manual sync. During that sync, only products marked for Selective Sync are processed.

**Note**
Selective Sync applies only to manual syncs initiated from the **Sync Schedule** tab. It does not apply to scheduled syncs.
{% endhint %}
## When to Use Selective Sync
Selective Sync is useful when you want to limit processing to a small set of products.
For example:
* Testing a new configuration
* Validating a recent change
* Troubleshooting a publishing issue
* Quickly republishing or updating a single application without running a full sync cycle.
### Enabling Selective Sync Behavior
When you right-click at a supported level in the Product Tree and select **Publish Now**, the **Selective Sync** dialog appears.
If you click **Yes**, the selected items are added to the queue for the next Selective Sync, which can be triggered by [Running a Selective Sync](/patch-my-pc-publisher/manage/sync-tab/schedule/sync-status.md#running-a-selective-sync).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/customizations/list-customizations/publish-now.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
