A new story doesn't appear in TSS Control until you publish it. That keeps the list in Control short and tidy for presenters.
Publish statuses
Draft: not visible in TSS Control.
Temporary: visible in TSS Control for a set number of days, then set back to Draft automatically.
Permanent: visible until you change the status. You need permission to publish permanently.
Change the status
In the Composer: click the story title, then choose Draft, Temporary or Permanent under Publish in Story Settings.
On the Stories page: click the status on the story's row and choose Draft, Temporary Publish or Permanent Publish.
For several stories: select them and use Change status (see Selecting multiple items).
You can only publish stories you own or collaborate on. The change shows in TSS Control almost immediately.
Who can publish permanently
Administrators and Guest Domain Admins can always publish permanently.
An Administrator decides whether Super Users and Users may, under Settings > Permissions > Story Publishing. Turning on User permanent publishing also turns on Super User permanent publishing.
Temporary Publish timer
Administrators set how many days Temporary lasts under Settings > Permissions > Story Publishing > Temporary Publish timer: 14 days by default, from 1 to 365.
Every night at 00:01 Amsterdam time, Compose sets Temporary stories whose time has run out back to Draft. A story can therefore stay visible in TSS Control until that night; in other time zones, this can happen during the working day. The count starts on the day a story was set to Temporary. If an Administrator changes the timer later, the new number of days applies from that original date.
Draft means hidden, not deleted
A story set back to Draft is only hidden from TSS Control. It stays in Compose, ready to publish again.
