Publishing

Publishing and Draft states have been added to Catalog items to control what is accessible externally. Now, Catalog Items are created as Drafts by default and can be Published when they are ready.

Items can be Published or Unpublished (set back to Draft state) in bulk:

Using the new publishStage:draft or publishStage:published embed parameter, you can control what Items are accessible client-side, including sub-items of a Product configurator. If no parameter is set, no restrictions will be enforced.

Publishing automatically updates cache keys.

Note: For configurators with part references that include unpublished Items, the unpublished Items will not be available as options. To make them available, the unpublished Items need to be published and the top level configurator needs to be re-published.
