Publishing

When do I publish the framework vs the form?

When you want to move content from one environment to another e.g. Development to Test you will need to publish either the form in question or the framework.
You should publish the form when you have:

  • Changed the text of a page specific to the form - i.e. NOT shared pages - see below
  • Changed any settings specific to the form
  • Changed any resources specific to the form


You should publish the framework when you have:

  • Changed the text of a shared page.

The shared pages are:

  • Launch
  • Who Are You
  • Save for Later
  • Declaration
  • Submitted

I.e. if you change some guidance notes on the Declaration page and want these to be published you need to publish the framework.


You should also publish the framework when:

  • You have changed a setting that is not specific to a form
  • You have changed a resource that is not specific to a form
  • You have changed the stylesheets

Settings and resources that are not specific to a form are those which appear on the Settings/Resources pages in System Management when a form has not been selected from the drop down.

For example the setting 'InProgressReminderEnabled' is not specific to a form and so needs the framework to be published.
