This topic is all about accessing Publish Lite, either when you create a new publication or when you open an existing publication from the content management system or home page. The process that you follow depends on where you are in the app and whether you already have a module open or not.
Note: Publish Lite is where business-focused users design and create their own publications, and where they edit and update the publications they share with other users. Users with advanced or additional access to Pyramid, will see their publications in Present Pro when opening them at design time (as an editor).

Create a new publication
You can typically create a new publication in Publish Lite from the Pyramid home page or by creating and opening a new tab.
Home page
If you want to launch a new publication from the home page (blue arrow), simply click Publish (yellow arrow) from the App Toolbox:
Tip: If you want to build a new publication that contains your first discovery by default, you might, alternatively, want to make use of Smart Publish. This tool may be available from your home page, depending on configuration.
New tab
If you want to create and launch a new publication while you have any module open, click New Tab (designated by the + icon) and select New Publication from the App Tabs menu:
New Publication
In either of the preceding cases, selecting the New Publication option opens the New Publication page:

Open a saved publication
Open an existing publication from the content explorer, the home page, or using the quick open menu. Note that this publication must have been saved to a location that you have access to for you to be able to open it.
Home page or Content Management System
Note: Your home page is opened from the Home icon in the App Toolbox. This page is highly configurable both by your administrator and by yourself, which means that its content may not include all of the tabs or options you see in our examples.
Wherever you see an explorer-style list of content items (from your Home Page or in the Content Explorer), you can open any publications on the list using the right-click context menu:
- Double-click to open the publication in Publish Lite.
- Right-click the Ellipsis (...) and select Open from the menu (green arrow).
- If a list view is selected (details or content view), right-click anywhere in the row (snapshot, name, or any other value) and select Open from the context menu.
- If the tile view is selected, right-click anywhere in the name panel and select Open from the context menu.
Tip: You can change which type of list is used for a panel using the view options to the panel's top-right (purple highlight).

Quick open from App Tabs
Quick Open (green arrow) offers a fast way to find and open content without leaving the App Tab interface. Click this option to open an explorer-like interface and access files from your private folder (My Content) and any Workgroup or Public folders you have access to. The pop-up also contains a "search by name" facility and lets you open files from Recent and Favorite locations. For more information, see Quick Open.
