Publish a product, family, or bundle
By default, product records are created in a draft state, and are available to your sales agents only after you publish it. For products that don't have a parent product family, you can create them directly in an active state using a system setting, so that you don't have to publish them after creation. More information: System Settings dialog box - Sales tab
Note
- You can only publish a product or bundle with a parent family if the parent product family is active.
- Product families are only supported for Sales Enterprise and Sales Premium.
Depending on the sales app that you're using, do one of the following:
- If you're using the Sales Hub app,
- Select Change area
at the lower-left corner of the site map, and then select App Settings. - In the Product Catalog area, select Families and Products.
- Select Change area
- If you're using the Sales Professional app,
- Select Products from the site map.
- If you're using the Sales Hub app,
Select the product, bundle, or family you want to publish, and on the command bar, select Publish.
This will change the product status to Active and make it available for selling.
Tip
You can't publish multiple product records at the same time. To publish all child products and families of a parent family at once, open the family, and choose Publish > Publish Hierarchy. For product records that don't belong to a product family, publish them individually after creating or editing them to make them available to your sales agents.
