Website Item

The Website information about an Item is now moved to a new DocType called Website Item. Publishing an Item is now as simple as a button click. Once an Item has a Website Item created against it, it is successfully published.

The Prerequisites here are Items.

Publishing an Item

The Publish in Website button is visible on every unpublished item under Actions. This button will create a Website Item and thus publish the Item on the website.

If you visit your-site-name/all-products , you will see the newly created Website Item listed here.

To view the Website Item page on the website click on the See on Website link on the top left just above the item image in the Website Item document.
