To publish your post, click the **Publish...** button at the top-right corner of the editor. A dialog box will appear with various options. Choose the channel you want to publish to and the [notification method](#notifications).

#### Portal

All posts are published to the [portal](#portal), which serves as the central hub for viewing them. You can adjust the portal’s visibility and access permissions in the [access settings](../portals/access).



#### In-App Widget

An in-app widget is perfect for users who are actively using your product. Users can quickly and easily see any relevant news while they use your product, without being bombarded with notifications or emails.

[Setting up the in-app widget](../portals/portal/widget).

#### Announcement page

The release page provides a comprehensive overview of all the changes made in one place. Using a dedicated release page to showcase your latest product updates can help you build credibility and trust with your customers. By keeping a clear and organized history of your product releases, you show your users that you're constantly working to improve your product and that you take their feedback seriously.&#x20;

**Scenario:** Announcing an upcoming conference. \
The in-app widget is the perfect channel for these types of temporary announcements. You can choose to publish this announcement to the in-app widget only without it appearing on the public release notes page.&#x20;

#### Confluence

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Confluence channel is only available once the [Confluence integration](settings/confluence) has been configured.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

The Confluence channel allows you to publish your post straight to Confluence. Like with other channels, you can update the post in Released and the page in Confluence will automatically be updated once it's published again.&#x20;

You can specify to which space and page the posts will be published in the [Confluence channel settings](settings/confluence).&#x20;

### Notifications

Specify how you want users to be notified of your post using the notification setting. The setting provides three options:&#x20;

#### Silent

Publishes the post without notifying users. This option is perfect for publishing small improvements, that may not important enough to distract users from what they are doing.&#x20;

#### Standard

Standard notifications incorporate a notification badge either onto the widget trigger or next to the link leading to the announcement page. This approach is ideal when you aim to inform users about new updates without overwhelming their attention.

#### Boosted

This feature activates the widget as soon as users access your app or displays a prominent banner badge on the announcement page. Use  this option when you want to communicate an important update.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If you posted with the wrong notification setting, just edit and update it with the correct one; the system will adjust for users not yet notified.
