The software allows you to publish modified and new objects with the Changes Only option. Publish tasks processed through the Changes Only workflow are smaller compared to All publishes, and are queued to Load and Consolidate before the merge operation. The merge operation combines the delta data with the previous complete publish data. After the merge operation succeeds, the information is retrievable. The Changes Only publishes are not retrievable. To retrieve a Changes Only publish, you must perform an All publish, which only happens after the load and consolidate processes.
