Publishing capability enables organizations to reuse the image presets, metadata schemas, and search facets created/modified at AEM Author instance thereby reducing duplicate efforts.
Publish image presets to Brand Portal publish-image-presets-to-brand-portal
Image presets are a set of sizing and formatting commands that are applied to the image at the time of image delivery. Image presets can be created and modified at Brand Portal. Alternatively, if AEM Author instance is running in dynamic media mode then users can create presets at the AEM Author and publish them to AEM Assets Brand Portal, and avoid re-creating the same presets at Brand Portal.
Once the preset is created, it is listed as dynamic rendition on asset detail renditions rail and download dialogue.

- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/ click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Image Presets.

Publish metadata schema to Brand Portal publish-metadata-schema-to-brand-portal
Metadata schema describes the layout and properties that are displayed on the properties page of asset/ collections.
If users have edited the default schema on AEM Author instance and are willing to use the same schema as default schema on the Brand Portal, they can simply publish the metadata schema forms to Brand Portal. In such a scenario, the default schema at Brand Portal is over-ridden by the default schemas published from AEM Author instance.
If users have created a custom schema on AEM Author instance, they can publish the custom schema to Brand Portal instead of re-creating the same custom schema there. Users can then apply this custom schema to any folder/ collection in Brand Portal.
To publish a metadata schema from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Metadata Schemas.

Publish search facets to Brand Portal publish-search-facets-to-brand-portal

Limitations limitations
-
Few search predicates are not applicable to search filters on the Brand Portal. When these search predicates are published as part of the search form from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal, they are filtered out. Users, therefore, see less number of predicates in the published form at the Brand Portal. See search predicates applicable to filters on Brand Portal.
-
For Options Predicate, if a user is using any custom path to read options at AEM Author instance, it won’t work at the Brand Portal. These additional paths and options are not published to Brand Portal with the search form. In this case, users can select the Manual option in Add Options within Options Predicate to add these options manually at Brand Portal.
