# Publishing

Publishing is a process of making a resource available in Parallels RAS for end users. The resources that can be published from RAS Management Portal include:

* Application
* Desktop
* Document
* Folder on the file system

Publishing is performed from the **Publishing** category in the RAS Management Portal.

When you select the **Publishing** category, the published resources are displayed in the middle pane. When you select a resource, the information about it is displayed in the right pane. If a resource is placed in a folder, you first need to expand the folder and then select the resource. To modify an existing published resource, click the **Edit** button in the top-right corner of the right pane.

To perform publishing tasks, use the menu bar at the top of the middle pane. From here, you can publish a new resource, add a folder (e.g. to group resources of the same type), duplicate a resource, enable or disable a resource, sort the list, and perform some other tasks.
