In this screen, you will find publishing models and the publishing history. The publishing options include:

* **Optimized Publishing**
* **Standard Publishing**
* **Keep users connected**
* **Request user reconnection**
* **Scheduled publishing**

You will learn more about each publishing model in the following steps.

* **Terminate sessions**
* **Stop preparation server**

### **Steps to publish:**

### Request User Reconnection:

We recommend that this procedure be performed only in cases of critical system updates, where all users are required to access the newly published version. You will be able to perform this procedure only a few times per month, according to your environment limits. **To do so, follow these steps**:

1. Choose the user disconnection time in minutes.
2. Add your name.
3. Leave a message for the user.
4. Click “**Publish**”

2. Click “**Schedule**”.
3. Confirm the schedule.
4. Check your scheduled publications to verify that the schedule was successfully set.
