Did you know that you can publish a bunch of recent changes all at once?
Here's what you do:
Click on Reports
Click on 'Publish Recent Changes'
The list of recently changed items will appear
Choose the items in the list that you would like to publish and click the 'Publish' link at the top of the list
NOTE: You can only publish Approved items, or Staging items that do not require approval. If you have a bunch of items in this list that require approval, you can use the list to navigate to each one and approve them individually.
