Publishing

Who Can Publish

Only governance roles can manage publication:

• Admin — publish, unpublish, archive
• Super Admin — all of the above, plus delete

Publishing an Assessment

1. Assessment reaches Approved status

   After a Reviewer approves the assessment, it appears in the Approved state.

2. Navigate to the assessment

   Open the assessment detail view from the Assessments list.

3. Click “Publish”

   The Publish button appears on Approved assessments for Admin and Super Admin roles.

4. Assessment goes live

   Status changes to Published. The assessment is now visible on the public Saudi NCAP website.

Unpublishing

To remove a published assessment from the public website:

1. Open the Published assessment
2. Click “Unpublish”
3. Status changes to Unpublished — removed from public view but retained in the system

Note

Unpublishing does not delete the assessment. It can be re-published or archived.

Archiving

To permanently retire an assessment:

1. The assessment must be in Unpublished status
2. Open the assessment
3. Click “Archive”
4. Status changes to Archived

Caution

Archived assessments cannot be easily restored. Only the Super Admin can delete archived assessments from the system entirely.
