# Publish a campaign

Publish a campaign to start generating campaign cycles and metric data tasks for its metrics.

## Before you begin

-   The campaign must have at least one metric and a data owner. For more information, see [Add or remove entities and metrics from a campaign](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/environmental-social-governance/add-or-remove-entities-and-metrics-from-a-campaign.md) and [Configure data owner and approver assignments for a campaign](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/environmental-social-governance/configure-data-owner-and-approver-assignments-for-a-campaign.md).
-   The campaign must be in the **Pending publication** state.
-   Role required: sn\_grc\_metric.manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Operational Sustainability Management** > **Operational Sustainability Workspace**.

2.  From the left panel, select the **List** icon.

3.  Select **Metrics** > **Campaigns**.

4.  Open the campaign.

5.  Select **Publish**.


## Result

The campaign moves to the **Published** state. The group, calendar, and frequency fields lock, and the campaign begins generating campaign cycles based on its frequency and first run date.
