Publish an approved document version to set it as the current version.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_audit_ws.supervisor, sn_audit.manager

## About this task

The Publish action is available on a version only after every configured approver has approved it. See [Document version and approval workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/X7P3uFh1oRFQu8LWVpninQ "A new version of a document in the Documents panel goes through an optional review and approval workflow before publication.").

## Procedure

1. From the Documents panel, select the document, then select Track versions.
2. Select the version that is in the Awaiting approval state and has been approved by every approver.
3. Select Publish.  
   The version state changes to Published and becomes the current version of the document. The previously published version is automatically retired. You cannot roll back to the retired version.
