After you finish debugging a product's features, you must publish the product before you can mass-produce devices. This action locks the product's features to prevent accidental changes. After you publish a product, its status on the project homepage changes to Published. At this point, you can no longer modify or delete the product.
Prerequisites
You have created a product on the IoT Platform, defined its features, and configured its app.
Development and debugging of the product's features are complete.
Log in to the IoT Platform console.

Confirm that the product name displayed in the Cloud Intelligence app meets the requirements. If the name does not meet the requirements, return to the UI Configuration page to modify it. For more information about the product name requirements, see Configure product display.
NoteIf the Cloud Intelligence app is the interaction terminal and you select the Manually select from product list/Search check box under Network Configuration Guide, the product name requires a backend review before publication. For more information, see Configure network configuration guide.
