🔍 Overview
Some Search Atlas features can publish or deploy content-related actions automatically, which may feel unexpected if you haven't configured your preferences. This article explains how to get help locating these settings and how to take full ownership of what gets deployed on your behalf.
⚙️ How to Locate and Control Auto-Deploy Settings
Because auto-deployment controls can appear in different areas of the platform depending on which feature is active, the exact location of these settings varies. If you are unsure where to find the controls for a specific feature, the steps below will help you escalate quickly so our team can point you to the correct location.
To prepare for that conversation, gather the following information before reaching out:
- The name of the project or workspace where the content was deployed or is scheduled to be deployed
- The name of the specific feature or tool you believe is triggering the auto-deployment (for example, a content planner, AI content template, or scheduled publishing tool)
- The approximate date and time the content was published, if it has already gone live
- A description of the content item or any relevant URLs
- Screenshots of any settings area you have already checked
✅ Best Practices for Staying in Control
- Audit your content queue regularly — check for any items that have moved to a scheduled or auto-deploy state unexpectedly.
- Review generation and template settings after onboarding — default settings for content tools may have automatic publishing enabled. Confirm whether automatic publishing is on and disable it if you prefer a manual review step before content goes live.
- Assign a team reviewer — if you work with a team, designate one person to approve content before it is published.
- Verify integration connections — if your site is connected to Search Atlas via a CMS integration, confirm that the integration settings do not allow content to be pushed live without a manual confirmation step on your end.
