# Publish a document to a connection

`POST /v1/documents/{documentId}/publications`

Creates a publication of a document (and its subpages with `includeSubpages`) to a connection, and queues the first run unless `publishNow` is false. `config` follows the connector's configSchema (connector.list). Needs edit access to the document.

Scope: `docs:write`.
