Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs

The Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs functionality enables you to ensure that the checksum is correct, and is available when publishing any cross-reference leafs that point to content outside of the current sequence.

Note: Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs can only be executed from the Prepare to Publish window.

To prepare cross-reference leafs:

1. On the assembly root, click More > Prepare to Publish.
2. In the prepare to publish window click the Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs checkbox, and click OK. The prepare to publish request is sent.
3. Navigate to the Job Requests window.
4. Confirm that the jobs are completed.
5. Click Close.
6. To submit the publishing request, click More > Publishing Request.
7. Select Publishing Output Channel: Electronic and Publish eCTD/Electronic: All leaf elements and XML, and click OK.

The Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs functionality pulls the database value for the target of the cross reference leaf, ensuring that the correct checksum value is used at publish time.
