Clicking a tab displays more relevant information in the right-hand details window, and if a tab also contains child tabs, the parent tab automatically expands to reveal any child tabs.

Regardless of the tab selected, at the bottom of Publisher you will find the following items:

Theme Control	Show Granted Permissions Shield	Version Number	Action Buttons

Theme Control

The Theme Control lets you decide which theme to use to display the Publisher.

Note

See Switch Themes for more information on how to switch themes and examples.

Show Granted Permissions Shield

Clicking the Show Granted Permissions shield () at the bottom of the Publisher UI opens the read-only Permissions screen showing a list of every Publisher permission and whether your account currently holds it, resolved against the server you are connected to.

This works the same regardless of the Settings console being accessed locally or remotely, so you can confirm your effective access at any time.

Note

See the Access and Permissions Reference for more information about these permissions.

Version Number

Underneath the Theme Control is the Version number field showing which version of Publisher you are currently running.

For example 3.x.x.x

Action Buttons

The Action Buttons are used as follows:

Button	Used to...
Logs	Manage log files in Publisher
Save and Close	Save any changes and quit Publisher.
Cancel	Cancel any changes and quit Publisher. If you have unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save them, if you choose to.
Apply	Apply (save) any changes without quitting Publisher (only available if you have made a change and not applied/saved it).
