# Create or update publishing conditions

> [!note]
> To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through [user group policies](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/user-group-policies.html "User group policies").

You can use conditions to control which entity definitions are published and when. Within publishing conditions, you can:

- For each definition, create rules based on related entity values, such as **M.Final.LifeCycle.Status\* is \*Approved**.
- Use **AND**/**OR** operators to combine conditions and create more precise rules. With the **AND** operator, all conditions must be met. With the **OR** operator, at least one of the conditions must be met.
- Use the **All**/**Any** global operators between conditions. **All** matches all conditions, **Any** matches any condition.
- Group conditions by creating nested conditions.

You can also [define a publication date](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/schedule-content-delivery.html "Schedule content delivery").

To create or update publishing conditions:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Delivery platform**.
3. On the **Delivery platform** page, in the left pane, next to the entity definition you want to add publishing conditions to, click one of the following icons:
    - :mdiSync: - publishing is disabled in the delivery platform and the entity definition is unpublished.
    - :mdiCloudCog: - publishing is enabled in the delivery platform and the entity definition is published with conditions.
    - :mdiSeal: - publishing is enabled in the delivery platform and the entity definition is published without conditions.
4. In the **Delivery platform settings** dialog, turn on the **Enable in delivery platform** switch if it is not already on.
5. To add a condition, in the **Publishing conditions** section, click **\+ Condition**. A gray box appears, representing a new condition.
6. In the gray box, select the definition member for the condition.
7. Select an operator and, if applicable, select the **Match case** check box.
8. If applicable, select whether the entity definition matches *all* or *any* of the conditions.
9. Click **Done**:

    > [!tip]
    > You can click and drag the :mdiDrag: icon for a condition to change its position.

    > [!note]
    > You can add a nested condition within an existing condition by clicking **\+ Condition**, or **Make group** :mdiPlus:. If you add nested conditions, make sure to select whether to include each condition as *AND* or *OR*.
