Push all Whatfix content and widgets to Production

The content that you create and save on Whatfix needs to be pushed to the Whatfix CDN servers before it is available to your users. You may be able to see the content using the Preview mode or the See Live option (during content creation), but for the content to go live and reflect on your end user's application, you must publish the content and widgets.

Note

Only an Account Manager can perform the following task. For more information about available roles, see Whatfix User Roles.

You will not be able to push content that has dependent content that's not already live. For example, Smart Tips or Beacons that have a link to a Flow cannot be pushed to Production if dependent Flow isn't already live. This prevents a broken user experience. For more information, see Can I move Contents or Widgets that are attached to another Content or Widget across stages?
For Self Help and Task List, 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.
Whatfix enables you to publish changes like global themes and configurations, User Actions, and other account-level changes, without having to publish any content or widgets to production along with them.
Go to the Ready stage and click Publish Changes even if it's empty. Review your changes in the pop-up that appears, and then click Push to Production.
