## Publishing state dialog box

You can choose the publishing state byline to open the publishing state dialog dialog box.

![cpc_publishing_popup_synced_sourcespacepage_2daysago.png](media://d4448aea-3e70-4fe9-be9b-ec71dbf5ab87)

The publishing popup displays details of

- the current publishing status of the page
- a **Publish** button

In addition, in the source space, if previously published, an option to **View Published Version** in the target space.

In the target space, the publishing state dialog box on a published page only displays a button option to **View Source Version** for the page in the source space.

The dialog box three-dot menu has options to open a page analysis tool, the app space settings, or the app documentation.

## New byline

If a page in the source space has not yet been published, a **New** lozenge is displayed for the page in the publishing state byline.
