Commit workspace data to production-ready data

Approve a task group to commit files and data in the task group to production-ready data, either immediately or at a scheduled time set earlier. If the task group is marked as quick publish, task group files and data are also published to the production environment.

About this task

All of the changes associated with a task group are committed to production-ready data at once. When a task group is committed, the changes merge with the production-ready data, allowing users outside the workspace to view the changes. Each task group in a workspace can be committed independently of the other task groups. When a task group is committed, the data in the task group moves from the workspace to production-ready data. After a successful commit, the data is no longer in the workspace.Use one of the following methods to commit workspace data on the authoring server to production-ready data:

Scheduled commit

Workspace Managers can schedule when task group data is committed to production-ready data. This allows the business team to complete all site campaign and content changes, review and approve everything in advance, and schedule the collection of changes to go to the production-ready data at a predetermined date and time. The task group commit occurs at the earliest time after the date and time set when scheduling the commit.

Regular commit

For task groups that are not marked as quick publish and do not have a scheduled commit, the task group commit occurs after all tasks in the task group are completed and, if required, the task group is approved.

By selecting the quick publish option when creating a new task group, the Workspace Manager ensures that both the commit to production-ready data and the publish to the production server occurs as soon as possible after the task group is approved. After the task group is approved, the task group data is committed to production-ready data. When the commit completes, the task group data is published to the production environment.
