# Publishing a LiveGroup

When a LiveGroup node is editable, a menu option is available to publish changes made to the node’s parameters and contents to a LiveGroup source file or asset. Both editable and non-editable LiveGroup nodes have a source parameter that specifies a LiveGroup source file or asset that the LiveGroup node represents. Publishing a LiveGroup node lets you create a new LiveGroup source file or asset, or lets you create a new version of an existing LiveGroup source asset. Choose between leaving the LiveGroup node in its editable state after publishing, so you can continue to work on the node, or loading the published LiveGroup source file or asset using its new filename or asset ID.

To publish a LiveGroup node, follow the instructions below:

| 1. | Ensure the node is in an editable state. For more information how to make a LiveGroup node editable, refer to Making a LiveGroup Node Editable.

| 2. | After you have made your changes and are ready to publish, right-click on the LiveGroup node, or click the wrench icon in the Parameters tab, and select Publish... from the menu.

The Publish LiveGroup dialog appears.

| 3. | Enter the filename or asset ID under which you want to publish the LiveGroup source file or asset.

| 4. | Click Accept.

The source in the Parameters tab is updated with the new source filename or asset ID and the node remains in an editable state.

Note: If publishing fails for any reason, an error message provides information explaining why publishing changes at that time was not possible.

To publish and finish editing the contents of a LiveGroup node, follow the instructions below:

| 1. | Ensure the node is in an editable state.

| 2. | After you have made your changes and are ready to publish, right-click on the LiveGroup node, or click the wrench icon in the Parameters tab, and select Publish and Finish Editing Contents... from the menu.

The Publish and Finish Editing Contents of LiveGroup dialog appears.

| 3. | Enter the filename or asset ID under which you want to publish the LiveGroup source file or asset.

| 4. | Click Accept.

The source in the Parameters tab is updated with the new source filename or asset ID, the contents of the LiveGroup node are loaded from the selected source, and the node’s contents become locked against editing.

Note: If publishing fails for any reason, an error message provides information explaining why publishing changes at that time was not possible, and the node remains in an unlocked state.
