The action Mark as published can only be applied to a revision that is marked as [accepted]. When changing the status to [published] the mark [accepted] will be removed.
Dynamic objects are retrieved from the ITP/MDK Repository at the moment an ITP Model is run (runtime). If an object has no [published] revision, it will not be returned. Therefore, marking a revision of a dynamic object as [published] indicates that the revision is ready to be used when the model is run.
To mark larger numbers of revisions of objects as [published], it is also possible to run the action Mark as published on a folder. It will then perform the action on all objects in this folder and its subfolders. Only the [accepted] revisions will be marked as [published]. You can also specify a label to limit the revisions that are published. If a label is specified only the revisions with this label and the status [accepted] will be promoted for publishing. Objects for which you do not have sufficient permissions to perform this action will be skipped.
Mark as published is only available if the compatibility option "Handle accepted revisions as published" is turned off in the Administrator's mode. If this option is turned on the actions Mark as published and Remove Published Mark will not be available. For more information on this option refer to the topic Revisions used for production runs.
