Benefits

Creating a publication through a Project has many benefits, including:

• Allows for a consistent team to collaborate on a Publication or set of related Publications.
• Using the Publications feature through a Project allows Databases to be added to a Publication for public viewing.
• Google Drive integration with Projects allows you to published files directly from your Google Drive.
• Project team members will automatically show in the list of authors to choose from, making it easy to add the same authors to several different Publications.
• Gives related Publications a shared public Projects page that users can view to look at related Publications that were a part of the same Project.

Creating a Publication Through a Project

1. Navigate to the Project you'd like to use to create a Publication.  If you want to view a list of Projects you manage or be able to create a new project go to https://yourhub.org/projects.
2. Click "Publications" on the left menu bar inside the project.
3. Click "Start a New Publication".
4. Select either "File(s)" or "Databases" depending on what you'd like to publish. 
5. Now the Publication steps will be the same as in the previous section, except for some areas will get pre-populated with choices based on what exists in the Project.

   Any area where you choose a file (e.g. Primary Content, Supporting Materials, Image Gallery) will be pre-populated with files that are included in the Project. The authors list will also be pre-populated with Project team members as options.
