Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles.

When you're ready for participants to see your site, you can make it available (i.e., publish it) from Site Info. When you publish your site, it appears as a new tab in each participant's workspace.

Follow these steps to change the publication status of your site:

  1. In your site's toolbar, click Site Info.
  2. Click Manage Access.
  3. Under "Site Status", next to Publish site, check or uncheck the box to publish or unpublish your site, respectively.
  4. Click Update.

Note: If you are not finding your page to be as it is described in the help pages, you made need to click the page reset button. This button, represented by blue curled arrows, is near the top of the page to the left of the heading, in this case "Site Info". Use the reset button to return to the starting point of any tool, as if you had entered the tool in a new session.
