Commands

Preview

Build and upload a preview of your project to our testfiles S3 bucket.

CLI

pnpm graphics-publisher preview

Graphics kit

pnpm preview

Upload

Upload your project to the graphics server.

CLI

pnpm graphics-publisher upload

Graphics kit

pnpm upload

Tip

In a hurry? To more quickly upload just the public archive — i.e., the page published on reuters.com, excluding all other embeds or editable editions — run:

CLI

pnpm graphics-publisher upload:quick

Graphics kit

pnpm upload:quick

Note: Be sure to run a normal update sometime after running a quick one to ensure all embeds and Connect editions are also updated with any changes.

Publish

Publish your project in the graphics server.

CLI

pnpm graphics-publisher publish

Graphics kit

pnpm pub

Restart

Sometimes a graphic pack in the server gets mangled. Run this to remove existing pack IDs and URLs from package.json, allowing you to create a new pack next time you upload your project. This command will preserve all other pack metadata previously saved, e.g., titles, descriptions, etc.

pnpm graphics-publisher restart

Note

As a general rule, if your project hasn’t published yet, you should use the delete command, which will also clear out all the previous pack’s metadata from package.json.

If your project has published, that isn’t an option, so you can use this command.

Delete

If possible, delete a graphic pack in the graphics server and restart the pack.

pnpm graphics-publisher delete

Note

Projects that have been published in the graphics server cannot be deleted.
