# Publish A Floorplan In Atlas

Use this guide to move layout changes from draft to live.

## Before you start

* You need Atlas access.
* HQ and floor should exist in organization settings.

## Steps

1. Open `Atlas`.
2. Select the target HQ and floor.
3. Confirm you are in `Draft` mode.
4. Apply your layout updates on the canvas.
5. Click `Save draft`.
6. Review for completeness (labels, placement, element types).
7. Click `Publish` (next version).
8. Switch to `Published` mode and verify the result.

## Why this matters

Locus and Orbis rely on published layouts. If a floor is only in draft, users may not see usable live data.

## If something does not work

* Publish unavailable: verify your permissions and current floor selection.
* Empty floor in downstream modules: confirm the floor has a published version.

## Screenshot Checklist (GitBook Publishing)

* [ ] Capture Atlas with HQ and floor selected.
* [ ] Capture draft mode edits before publishing.
* [ ] Capture successful published version state.
* [ ] Capture published view toggle/result.
* [ ] Redact any sensitive location details if required by policy.

## Screenshot Placeholders

* `TG-ATLAS-01-context`: Atlas page with selected HQ/floor.
* `TG-ATLAS-02-action`: Draft edit state before pressing publish.
* `TG-ATLAS-03-result`: Published version indicator after publish.
* `TG-ATLAS-04-verify`: Published view displayed for verification.
