Module 6: Drafts and publishing
The layout built in modules 2 to 5 goes live here. This module teaches publishing and every alternative to it, and the checks before a layout is handed over. Module 7 then maps it to pages.

Preparing this module
- The learners' course layouts with the blocks of modules 3 to 5.
- Find out whether the training installation clears caches automatically after a publish (otherwise the editor asks) and show the question once.
- Find out where your installation offers share links and export, to show in lesson 6.2.
- Publishing learners' layouts changes nothing on the site until module 7 maps them; reassure the class.
