A brand new interface
The publishing Dashboard is a new interface that centralizes publishing tasks and displays the
information in a web-based environment — the status of publishing tasks, logs, and outputs
can now be found in one place.
Visually identify exactly what is happening on the server
Publishing task status is updated in real time and with color coding to identify publishing tasks
that are running (orange), have failed (red), or have successfully executed (green) making it
easy to know where any publishing task stands.
