# Publishing resources

Desktops based on the Golden Image and all applications installed on it can be made available to users in the **Applications** category. This is called publishing resources.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: By default, Parallels DaaS deploys D2 v5 instances (2 vCPU, 8 GB memory). Please contact us if you require a different configuration.
{% endhint %}

To publish an application:

1. If you want to publish an application, make sure that it is installed on the Golden image. Desktops are always available for publishing.
2. Navigate to the **Applications** category. You will see the lists of available resources.
3. Toggle on the switch next to the resource you want to publish.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: If you cannot find your application in the list of available applications, make sure the shortcut to your application exists in the `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs` folder on the [Golden Image](/landing/daas-guides/daas-administrators-guide/getting-started/editing-the-golden-image.md)**,** and if it's not there, create it and save the changes.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/daas-guides/daas-administrators-guide/getting-started/publishing-resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
