Distribute a Sample
After Channel setup is complete, consider sending a sample file to your partner:
Select the “New” menu item from the Admin > Distributions menu
On the “New Distribution” page:
Add the newly created channel to the “Channels” list
Check the “Skip Destination?” and “Skip Notification?” boxes
Specify a few appropriate ISBNs or Product IDs in the “Select Assets By” field
Populate the “Description” field with a short message indicating this distribution is for testing/sample purposes
Click the “Create & Close” button
Download the resultant file to your local computer
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.
