Publishing Directly to Flare Online

As an alternative to building a target in Flare Online, you can publish output directly from a local project in Flare Desktop to Flare Online. This is possible via a destination file that Flare Desktop automatically creates for you. By “publish,” we mean copying your output files to Flare Online, not making that output “live,” which would make it visible to the general public. You would still need to use Flare Online to make that output accessible to end users.

How to Publish Directly to Flare Online

1. If it is not already done, upload a local project from Flare Desktop to Flare Online.

2. In the local project in Flare Desktop, open a target.

   Note If you are using Git branching, make sure the appropriate branch is active. When you build and publish the output, it will be for that branch. See Branching.

3. Select the Publishing tab.

4. Next to the Flare Online destination, click the Publish check box.

   

   Note This destination is automatically shown on the tab if the project is bound to Flare Online. If it is not bound to Flare Online, you will not see this destination.

5. Click to save your work.

6. At the top of the editor, click Build.

7. When the build finishes successfully, click Publish.

   After the target publishes, you can see the result in Flare Online. A Flare Desktop icon displays next to builds that originated from Flare Desktop. A Flare Online icon displays next to builds that originated from Flare Online. Also, if you had a particular Git branch selected when publishing, it will be shown in the Branch column of the grid.
