In Publisher, incremental publish to the Web allows you to publish updates to a previously published Web site quickly by publishing only those files you have updated. For example, when you make changes to your Web site in Publisher and then publish the updated version of your Web site to the Web using the Publish to the Web command, Publisher will publish only those changes you have made to your Web site, instead of republishing the entire Web site. Incremental publish to the Web speeds up the task of updating your Web site.

If you make changes to your Web site directly on a Web server (Web server: A computer that hosts Web pages and responds to requests from browsers. Also known as an HTTP server, a Web server stores files whose URLs begin with http://.) outside of Publisher, enabling incremental publish to the Web may prevent you from publishing subsequent updates to your Web site using the Publish to the Web command. If you plan to manage your Web site files directly on the Web server (such as through a separate FTP (FTP: A communication protocol that makes it possible for a user to transfer files between remote locations on a network. This protocol also allows users to use FTP commands, such as listing files and folders, to work with files on a remote location.) program), you should turn off incremental publish to the Web.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Web tab.
2. Under Saving, do one of the following:
   • To turn off incremental publish to the Web, clear the Enable incremental publish to the Web check box.
   • To turn on incremental publish to the Web, select the Enable incremental publish to the Web check box.

Note  Incremental publish to the Web is enabled by default in Publisher.
