# Publish

The **Publish** option provides an overview of all the tags that are present on the Ingest Labs application. Any tag that is created in Ingest Labs includes the following stages:

* **Pending Publish**: A newly created tag appears with a "Pending Publish" status in orange color.
* **Staging**: Before any tag can be published to "Production" it has to be first published to "Staging". Once published to staging, it displays as **staging** in green.
* **Production**: In the Publish Project to Production screen, review the tags, providers, triggers, and transformers that are ready for production. You can now publish the tag to "Production". Once you publish the tag in production, it displays **production** in green.

The stages are displayed on the Tags UI screen:

**Note**: A disabled tag is displayed in grey background.
