How do I access the Publisher Centre?
As a new publisher, you must create an organisation, define your settings and set up your publication. To learn more, go to the Publisher Centre overview and find out how to submit your content. To access the Publisher Centre and get started, go to the homepage.
If you previously had an edition in the Producer tool or a source in the former Publisher Centre, you can still find your organisation and publications in the new Publisher Centre. You have complete control to edit and delete anything that you find in the Publisher Centre.
