Revisions of Publisher items

You may need to output a Publisher item multiple times to keep pace with revisions. You may wish to keep the older published files as a record.

The file name of each output Publisher item is identical to the name of the Publisher item itself. This means that if you output a Publisher item, and later rename it to reflect a new revision, you can re-publish it under the new name, without overwriting the previously output file.

If you publish multiple items of the same name simultaneously, a yellow warning triangle appears in the Publishing process window; double-click to read the message, as shown below. These files will be renamed.
