strapi-plugin-relation-publish

A Strapi v5 plugin that adds a Publish button with a confirmation dialog to the relation edit modal in the Content Manager.

Installation

npm install strapi-plugin-relation-publish
# or
pnpm add strapi-plugin-relation-publish

Register the plugin in your Strapi project's config/plugins.ts:

export default {
  'relation-publish': { enabled: true },
};

How it works

When editing a relation in the Content Manager modal, the plugin injects a Publish action button. Clicking it opens a confirmation dialog before publishing the related document.

• Only appears for content types that have Draft & Publish enabled (i.e. have a status field).
• Disabled when the document is already published and has no unsaved changes.
• Disabled when viewing the published tab.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build        # build the plugin
pnpm test         # run tests
pnpm test:watch   # watch mode
