After [creating a User Action](/product-analytics/docs/creating-a-user-action), you need to publish the User Actions. This ensures that the User Actions are live on the application and can start capturing engagement data. **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 publish User Actions: 1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A34%3A10Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A34%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=NC%2Bz9WFXIoOcsX9FG9m36UezxnGEknLWixQnR7YPsZQ%3D) 2.
