An entity is an item or concept represented by a set of properties and metadata. The [entity definition](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/entity-definition.html "Entity definition") defines its structure. To make the entity definition available, you must publish it.

> The **Delivery platform** tile is only visible if [publishing is enabled](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/configure-the-publishing-settings.html "Configure the publishing settings").
