Hi there,
We plan to deprecate and remove the Publisher application, used to manage the course and course run publishing workflow within course-discovery. We are targeting removal on or after Jan 15, 2020.
Please read https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-60 for more information and to post any questions/comments. The proposed deadline for comments before acceptance is Jan 3, 2020.
Thanks,
Jason Myatt
