Publish a draft sandbox preset

This guide explains how publishing a draft sandbox preset to make it available for usage in tracks and shared hot-start pools.
To make use of a sandbox preset on a track or shared hot-start pool there must be a published version. Tracks and hot-start pools will always use the published version of a sandbox preset.

Publishing from Instruqt CLI involves pushing your changes to the Instruqt platform to create a draft and running the publish command. Take the following steps to publish a sandbox preset:
  1. 1.
    Move into your track directory:
    cd DIRECTORY_NAME
    ⇨ Replace DIRECTORY_NAME with your sandbox preset directory.
  2. 2.
    Enter the following command to push your changes and ensure the draft on the Instruqt platform is updated with your local changes:
    instruqt sandbox push
    ↳ Instruqt shows this output:
    ==> Pushing config (SANDBOX_PRESET_SLUG)
    OK
  3. 3.
    Enter the following command:
    instruqt sandbox publish --message="YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE"
    ⇨ Replace YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE with a commit message for the new changes. ↳ Instruqt shows this output:
    ==> Publishing config (SANDBOX_PRESET_SLUG)
    Change log message: YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE
    OK
Once a draft is published all tracks using the preset will be updated to use the latest published version and all shared hot-start pools will be drained and provisioned with the new published version.
