You can publish and retract IS assets, IS administrative assets, and TN document types. Designer publishes and retracts metadata using the credentials defined for a CentraSite connection in Designer. The CentraSite URL and credentials required for a CentraSite connection are specified in Designer preferences (Window > Preferences).
For more information about publishing and retracting metadata, see the information in
