# Publishing to Xpress Insight

In this section you will publish the project to an Xpress Insight server and test it.

If you do not have access to an Xpress Insight server, contact your administrator.

Note: If you are working with the Desktop Edition and this is the first time you have used Xpress Insight, you will first need to configure a server. For more information, see Configuring an Xpress Insight Server.
All Xpress Workbench features that relate to Xpress Insight are accessed from the Xpress Insight sidebar. You can find this sidebar on the right side of the Xpress Workbench Project page. There are two options when publishing to Xpress Insight, Full or Quick.

1. Quick Publish - Use this option to include only the files that have been changed since the last publish
2. Full Publish - Always use this option when publishing a project to Xpress Insight for the first time. Additionally, use this option:
   - when adding a new view.
   - for the final publish prior to release.

Complete the following steps to publish a project to Xpress Insight for the first time:

1. Open the Xpress Insight sidebar, if it is not already open, by clicking its name.
2. Click the Publish button, which is the first button from the left within the sidebar.
3. Use the Xpress Insight Server drop-down to select the server where you want to publish the app.
4. In the list of Xpress Insight apps, select Create a new app.
   Note: If you are using the FAC Edition on the FICO ® Analytic Cloud, the list of Xpress Insight apps may take several seconds to load.

   By default, the list of servers includes servers from all solutions. To filter the list to include only servers in the current solution, select Show only from current solution.

5. Click Publish.
6. Log on to Xpress Insight in a new tab, open the new app, and review the VDL view that you created.
