Approval and Publishing

The approval process

When a page is saved, it automatically enters the approval process, and the Webmaster is notified of the change. At this moment the page is locked, and cannot be edited until it has been approved. Please take advantage of the Preview icon  to ensure that you are completely happy with your changes before clicking Save and Close  , otherwise you will have to alert the Webmaster that the page requires further changes before being published.

The publishing cycle

After a page has been approved, it will be published to the live website (www.r.umn.edu) during the next publishing cycle. Currently publishing occurs every 3 hours starting at 7am, so approximate times during work hours are 10 a.m., 1 p.m and 4 p.m. If you need a change to go out urgently, please email umrweb@umn.edu for the appropriate request to be made to UMContent support.
