Distribute a Sample

After Channel setup is complete, consider sending a sample file to your partner:

  1. Select the “New” menu item from the Admin > Distributions menu

  2. On the “New Distribution” page:

    1. Add the newly created channel to the “Channels” list

    2. Check the “Skip Destination?” and “Skip Notification?” boxes

    3. Specify a few appropriate ISBNs or Product IDs in the “Select Assets By” field

    4. Populate the “Description” field with a short message indicating this distribution is for testing/sample purposes

  3. Click the “Create & Close” button

  4. Download the resultant file to your local computer

  5. Email the file to your partner with a personal message

Samples are customarily sent manually via email so that the partner can manually review and test. Once the sample is accepted, subsequent distributions do not need to skip the destination and notification steps.
