Publish Lite is a fully self-contained toolset for non-technical users to construct their own static publications, without entering any other module. Users can build new discoveries from within Publish Lite, and automatically add them to the publication. Users can also add existing content items, build new slicers on the fly, and customize and professionalize their publications using a range of sophisticated design options. These publications can be saved and exported, and you can subscribe to receive them when they are updated.
Publish Lite is ideal for non-technical users who want to create their own publications, with the flexibility to also create their own analytic content. It features a streamlined interface, designed to make the publication-building experience intuitive, while maintaining a range of key functions to help you design informative, data-driven, presentations.
The Publish Lite experience is designed for Analyst users; Pro users can also have their Profiles set to access only Publish Lite.
Tip: If you require more advanced features when creating your publications, you should consider using Publish Pro. For more information, see Publish Pro.

Alternative interfaces
- Smart Publish: An easy-to-use tool that guides non-technical users step-by-step through the process of building analytical content using augmentation engines and heuristics. Once you are done, the visual you created is dropped into a new publication automatically. This tool offers users the simplest method for building publications in Pyramid.
- Publish Pro: The full Publish toolset for drag-and-drop, point-and-click publication building. You can add and create visuals, static and dynamic text, images, infographics, and set up dynamic scheduled distribution, among other functions.
