Publishing Drafts

When ready to publish your draft to your blog, click the "Publish" toolbar icon or choose the Draft ▶ Publish menu command. ecto runs publishing tasks in the background, so you can immediately start a new draft.

The chain of events is as follows:

  • ecto first saves the draft.
  • Data of the draft is sent to your blog server and published if desired.
  • Once publishing is successful, ecto retrieves the final draft that has been created by your blog system and compares it with the draft saved before publishing. If there are differences, a Comparison Tool window pops up notifying you of the changes that your blog system has made to the draft. This can be date or content related.
  • If so configured, notifications are sent.
