Prerequisites

• An active SharePoint Publishing Passport must be authorized by an Appspace Administrator.

• An Account Owner, Publisher, or the Space Owner/Moderator of the Appspace space being configured.

• SharePoint Permissions: A Site Owner or a user with Full Control or Edit permissions on the target SharePoint site is required.

Publish Content (Day-to-Day Action)

Once the Appspace space is configured, content publishing automatically creates a new SharePoint page.

1. Navigate to the Appspace channel, community, or topic you just configured.

2. Create a new post or content item in this space.

3. In the content editor, click Publish.

Verification

The Appspace platform will automatically process the new content and publish it as a new Site Page in the linked SharePoint Site Collection. Log in to your SharePoint Site and navigate to the Site Pages library to verify the new content.
