Currently when you use Manage Publication functionality to publish/unpublish pages, the timeline does NOT provide information about the target so that you can not see to which target it was published/unpublished. And instead of "Page published" entry like in AEM 6.5.16 on Prem only workflow steps are visible which is confusing.
Use-case:
Timeline should give the possibility the see what happened to page and it is important to know which target was published. If you have pages which are frequently published a clear overview is needed of editors.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
Missing information about publishing target. Listing of workflow steps for publication which are confusing.
Improved/Expected Behavior:
Provide proper information about the target to which the page has been published to. Use clear entries for publication like "Page published to Publish" or "Page published to Preview" instead of listing connected workflow steps
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):
This has been reported to the engineering under the internal reference SITES-19517. The product team will triage this request to verify feasibility based on the prioritization model. This post will be updated according to the Jira request status.
May i add to the topic of Manage Publication without hijacking this original Idea: The manage Publication within Assets has a similar lack of transparency and i see an easy way out that might interest more than our company.
An asset that receives a publishing date via manage publication gets locked by a workflow and receives the publication icon followed by "later".
Sure, It is possible to check the instances, find the workflow by checking the payload BUT - this could be much easier for AEM Users. Just display this information on the thumbnail instead of "later".
