Abstract: Publishing a document from a cloud storage and/or productivity application is described. A cloud storage and/or productivity application can include a command to publish that may be executed from a user interface to the cloud storage and/or productivity application. In response to receiving a request to publish the document through a user interface, a copy of a document to be published can be communicated to a publish service of a content delivery system. The copy of the document can be a productivity application file.

Abstract: The publishing and distribution of productivity documents to collections are described. Document collections distribution and publishing can be facilitated by a service that receives documents to publish and stores the documents at a storage of the service. The documents can be stored in the file formats they were created in, including productivity application file formats such as word processing file format and presentation file format. The service also stores metadata associated with each document, including a collection identifier that identifies each collection that a document is added to. The documents and the collections to which the documents may be associated with are searchable and discoverable through the service.
