<title id="twpub_title">Publishing your application</title>
<shortdesc id="twpub_shortdesc"><i>Publishing</i> involves copying
files (projects, resource files, and server configurations) to the
correct location for the server to find and use them. In the test
environments, these files may already be in the correct location.
In some cases, temporary copies of the server configurations may be
created. You can either publish your application automatically or
manually.</shortdesc>

options to choose for the <i>Publishing</i> settings. You can set
these <i>Publishing</i> settings by going into the Servers view, right-click
the server and select <uicontrol>Open</uicontrol>. The Server editor
opens. In the <i>Overview</i> page of the server editor, under the <uicontrol>Publishing</uicontrol> settings,
you are going to find the following settings:<ul>
<li><uicontrol>Never publish automatically</uicontrol>: Specifies
the workbench should never publish files to the server.</li>
<li><uicontrol>Automatically publish when resources change</uicontrol>:
Specifies that when a change is made to the files running on the server,
the number of <i>seconds</i> specified in the <uicontrol>Publishing
interval </uicontrol>control will need to pass before the workbench
calls a publish to happen on the server. However, if you make a subsequent
change to the files before this time interval has completed, the publish
is delayed as the timer is reset. The workbench makes a publish to
the server only after the full time interval has passed.  If you set
the publishing interval to 0 seconds, a change to the files running
on the server should automatically request a publish command to occur.</li>
