# Push Whatfix Content and Widgets to Production

The [Whatfix Guidance Dashboard](/studio/docs/en/overview-of-the-whatfix-dashboard?highlight=whatfix%20guidance%20dashboard) stores the content you create for your Mirror using the Whatfix Studio. Use the **Preview Mode** or the **See Live** option during creation to review content.

Push the content and widgets to the Production stage to make them available in the end user's application. This action publishes the changes to the Whatfix CDN Servers. The content appears live only after publishing.

          **Note:**

          

Only an **Account Manager** can perform the following task. For more information about available roles, see [Whatfix User Roles](/studio/docs/whatfix-user-roles).

Use the following steps to push Whatfix content and widgets to Production:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance Dashboard, click **Ready**.

          Info:

          

Ensure all the content and widgets you want live are moved from the **Draft** stage to the **Ready** stage. Select the content you want to move, and then click **Send to ready**. ![clm_db_send_to_ready_button(1)](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_send_to_ready_button%281%29.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T12%3A51%3A54Z&se=2026-10-29T13%3A51%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mPIX7TJ5PxjOF3cSIxBZHtTdKHlbqGr3fEvp0jQNiuQ%3D)

          Note:

          

Whatfix enables you to review and publish selective content and widgets to Production. For more information, see [Selective Publishing](/studio/docs/selective-publishing).

1. Click **Publish** on the summary popover after you review the content that will go live.

          Info:

          

- When the process is complete, Whatfix sends a notification mail to your registered email address.
- The Push to Production usually takes only a few minutes. However, depending on your deployment method, there might be a delay before end users see the updated content.
- The time it takes for content and widgets to appear for your end users varies by deployment type:  

-**Whatfix Store deployments**: Updates typically reflect within a few minutes after content is pushed.  

-**Extension-based deployments**: Updates might take up to 30 minutes to appear. This time might vary depending on where the extension is hosted, such as the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Store, or another store.

          Note:

          

- For Task Lists, Whatfix publishes segments to the Production stage even if there is dependent content in the Draft or the Ready stages. However, in such cases, the dependent content won’t appear inside the segments until those units are moved to the Production stage.
- Publish global themes, configurations, and other account-level changes without pushing any content or widgets to Production.

 

Whatfix Studio is a browser plug-in that enables you to create various types of Whatfix content, such as Flows, Smart Tips, Beacons, and so on. The plug-in can be installed on Google Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge browsers.

Content Delivery or Distribution Network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network that is used to host the same content. When a request is made for the content, the network routes the user to the closest server, thus ensuring a faster response time, high availability, and improved performance.
