Publication Channel settings in Studio Server

Using Studio Server, content can be published to print or in a digital format. By default, this is done by setting up Publication Channels which define if the publication (a layout or article) should be published to print or digital output.

This article gives a short overview of the settings for each of the Publication Channel types, for quick reference:

• Print
• Web
• Other

For more information about Publication Channels, see Publishing content using Publication Channels in Studio Server.
