  • To view your new edition on the website, from within Cascade just click on the Live tab when in View mode of your new page. It will provide you with a URL of where your new page lives.
  • As soon as you are happy with your new Sidebar, submit a publish request for  http://www.sandiego.edu/law/student-affairs/publications/sidebar via our web form at http://www.sandiego.edu/law/forms/communications/web-request.php. Until your publish request is made, the index page for the Sidebar will continue to pull in your previous edition.
