You can export instructional content to various formats. Common outputs include SCORM packages and PDF files.

For more information about instructional content publishing, see Publishing Instructional Content.

Create a course by using the DITA learning and training specializations. See Create a Course.
Ensure that your publishing scenario supports the suggested DITA 1.3 Learning maps structure. See Learning Maps Overview.
If you want to use your course in a Learning Management System (LMS), ensure that your LMS is compatible with your SCORM publishing scenario.

In the Content Library, click a map and in the right pane select Output > Publish.
From the list on the left, select a publishing scenario.
Optional: In the Enter description field, add a meaningful description of the publishing job.
Once you publish the document, you can see that description in the list of completed publishing jobs.
Set the publishing parameters.
Publishing scenarios are configured by your CCMS Administrator.The publishing scenario can include the following parameters.
Template
Enables you to select output style.
Transformation Type (transtype)
Also referred to as output type. Required parameter. Enables you to select the output format, for example, PDF or HTML. This parameter may be set to multiple options. In that case, the publishing scenario defaults to the first option on the list. This parameter may also be pre-set and fixed in a publishing scenario.
DITAVAL (args.filter)
Optional parameter. Enables you to select a DITAVAL file for conditional processing. This parameter may be pre-set and fixed in a publishing scenario.
Locales
Optional parameter. Enables you to select a locale (target language) when publishing localized content. If your content is not localized, this parameter defaults to the source language.
Webhooks
Enables you to send webhooks on successful publish or any publish.
Debug publish
Generates additional files that are added in the debug folder to the output ZIP file. You can use those files to troubleshoot publishing issues in your publication. This option is only available in DITA-OT and PDF Generator publishing scenarios for those users with Administrator privileges.
Track changes
Include or exclude tracked changes (suggestions) from the Content Editor in the output.
Note:
By default, this feature may not be available. For more information, contact your Customer Success Manager.
Skip Build
Gives you an option to skip build during the compilation of the Docusaurus package. This reduces the time needed for the package to be successfully compiled, which might help when publishing larger projects. You can compile the build later yourself using the command prompt or the terminal.
Note:
For more information about the Docusaurus build directory, see Docusaurus documentation.
