# Publish and Close (Execution Mode)

To publish or close a run, you must have the `Assay Publisher` role.

The final step of the run is to close or publish the data, as defined in the run template.

## From the Run Template

Some information in the run template limits the options for closing or publishing a run:

- If the designer chose to close the run, you can only close it.
- If the designer chose to publish the run, you can close or publish it according to the run template configuration.

              
              

When closed or published, the run can be reopened for further modifications.

## Close a Run

When the run is locked, you can close or publish it:

- From the `Run Details` page, click the `Close Run` button.

- From the `Sample Analysis` page, click the `Next` button, then `Close`.

Your run is now closed.

## Publication

If the designer selected a publisher, you can access the publication pages from:

- The `Sample Analysis` page: click the `Next` button, then `Publish`.
- The `Run Details` page: click the `Publish Run` button.

In both cases, you will be redirected to the Publisher pages.

### Select Publisher

The selection of the publisher is skipped in `Execution Mode`, as the publisher is already selected in the run template.

You can access this page using the breadcrumb bar and go back to the `Select Publisher` page.

### Publication Page

The publication page depends on the publisher selected in the run template (for example, Warehouse).

#### Using Warehouse

In the Warehouse publisher page, the selected protocols and parameters will be automatically displayed and filled in.

- Click the `Publish` button to publish your run into Warehouse using the selected protocol and parameters.

              
              

You can unpublish a run published in Warehouse. Go back to the Publishing page, and click the `Unpublish` button. The run will be unpublished, and the data will be removed from Warehouse.

## Other Actions

### Reopen a Run

If the run has been closed you can reopen it, for example, to update some of the data in the run.

To reopen your run, go to the `Run Details` page, and click the `Reopen Run` button.
