Publishing validation

Understand the checks that must pass before a story is public.

Last reviewed 14 August 2026

Summary

Understand the checks that must pass before a story is public.

Steps

  1. Run validation from the creator workspace.
  2. Resolve required metadata, route, warning, label, access, or rights issues.
  3. Publish only after validation returns no blocking errors.

What to expect

  • Validation is product assistance, not legal review.
  • Commercial validation fails closed until prices, payout, refund, and eligibility rules are configured.

Troubleshooting

  • Warnings deserve review even when they do not block publication.
  • If an error is unclear, include the exact validation text in a support case.
