In the Axeptio admin, no modifications are deployed to your site until you publish them. This allows you to evolve your configurations, adjust the design, or update legal information without immediately impacting what is displayed to visitors.
As long as your changes are not published:
the banner on your site remains unchanged;
only already published versions continue to be used.
👉 It is therefore necessary to publish your changes with each modification.
If you notice that your banner does not reflect the current state of your configuration in the Axeptio admin, the most frequent cause is simply that the changes have not yet been published.
This mode of operation allows you to prepare your changes in advance, adjust your configurations peacefully, and decide precisely when changes become visible on your site.
Launching a publication
When your changes are ready to be deployed, click the yellow Publish button, located in the top right of the interface. The publication window Publication options then opens and allows you to choose precisely what will be published.
By default, if you click Publish at the bottom of the publication window without modifying other options, only design changes and DPO-related information will be published. If you also wish to publish changes made to your various product configurations, remember to manually select the corresponding configurations.
Details of the publication window sections "Publication options"
Project settings
This section groups the global parameters of your project.
Publish design changes
Check to publish modifications made on the Color and style page:
colors, fonts, graphic styles, and appearance of Axeptio elements.
Publish DPO changes
Check to publish information entered in Project Information > Data Protection Officer (DPO), such as the DPO name or contact address displayed to users.
Axeptio product configurations
Depending on the products enabled in your project, the publication window displays one or more sections bearing the names of these products. Each section lists the configurations associated with the product in question.
You can notably find sections for:
Cookie banners (product Brands),
TCF cookie banner (product Publishers),
Marketing consent collection (product Subs),
Terms, used for managing Terms of Service / Terms of Sale.
👉 For each product, check the configurations you wish to publish.
This allows you to choose precisely which configurations are included in the publication, and which are not.
Finalizing the publication
💡 Good practice: before publishing, verify that all the configurations you wish to deploy are checked, particularly on projects with multiple products, languages, or geographic areas.
Once you have made your selections:
click Publish to make the changes effective on your site;
or click Integrate on your site if you wish to see the possible integration options.
Once the publication is launched, a confirmation message appears in the top right of the interface and remains visible throughout the publication process (generally less than 5 minutes).
After a publication, it is possible that your browser still displays an earlier version of the configuration, due to caching. If you do not immediately see your changes on your site: - clear your browser cache, - or open your site in private browsing, - or test with another browser.
