Introduction
The Configuration Publish Portlet is used to publish configuration changes for use with Conduit and has the ability to automatically or manually publish these configurations within the portlet.
To access the Configuration Publish page, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > Configuration Publish.

This portlet displays a top panel with two grids underneath: To Publish and Published. The top panel displays the number of pending configurations to publish.
Note: If there are pending configurations that need to be manually published, the Publish All button will display. Pending configurations appear in the To Publish list, while changes already published are viewable in the Published list.
Auto Publish
Configuration Publish will automatically publish configuration changes when the auto-configuration generic attribute is active.
