This method even publishes the templates and layouts used by the current item, if that's not done yet. 2) Unpublish button enables you to unpublish an item with a single click. It will change the Publish Restrictions as it unchecks the Publishable option on the Item tab and publishes the item after that, using a full Republish without Subitems. 3) The Publishing State button shows the publishing state for all publishing targets. If a publishing target is up-to-date, a green dot is shown. If the item is published to a publishing target, but the item has changed afterward, an orange dot is shown (so it's published, but not up-to-date). If the current item is not present in a publishing target at all, a red dot is shown. This function enables the content editor to check in detail if the content is published or not, for every publishing target.
