As you can see from the picture above, Editors and Publishers will see this button associated with
any content on the system allowing them to edit any article by any Author.
Publisher
Publishers have all the same abilities as Authors and Editors plus the ability to publish articles on
the web site. All the controls that we just saw for submitting and editing content are also available
to Publishers. A Publisher may author their own content, edit the content of all Authors or Editors,
and publish the articles to the web site.
The most noticeable difference that a Publisher will see when logged in to the web site is the
addition of a new field called State in the Publishing Tab when authoring new content or editing
an existing Content Item. It allows the Publisher to publish articles without having access to the
Administrator (Back-end) panel.

The selection list available for this field has just two choices, Published and Unpublished. When
published the article will be viewable on the web site between the times and dates specified by
the Start Publishing and Finish Publishing fields.
