# Publish template

> POST /templates/:id/publish — snapshot the draft and make it live.

`POST /templates/:id/publish`

Publishes the current draft: copies the working `subject`/`html`/`text` into the published snapshot, sets `status` to `"published"`, stamps `published_at`, and records a new entry in the version history (`current_version_id` is updated). **Every** send that references the template — [`POST /emails`](https://www.senddart.com/docs/api/emails-send), batch, campaigns and automations — reads the published snapshot, so an unpublished template cannot be sent at all and later draft edits stay invisible until you publish again.

**Node.js**

```js
import { SendDart } from 'senddart';

const mb = new SendDart('mb_xxxxxxxxx');

const { data, error } = await mb.templates.publish('43f68331-0622-4e15-8202-246a0388854b');
console.log({ data, error });
```
