In the past two months, I&ve had several people ask me a lot of different questions about problems that they were having in SharePoint online sites.
Have you had these issues?Pages not showing up in search;News articles visible to some users, but not others;Confusion over which pages are news versus regular pages.Solving these issues is relatively easy & they are almost always because someone has forgotten to publish the pages they have edited.
It a little easier to remember to Republish when you are on the page-making edits.
But don''t forget, if you change metadata on a page from the Site Pages view, you are also unpublishing the page.
So, you need to remember to republish pages every time you make an update!
