`POST /v1/developer/collections/{collection}/articles/imports/revisions/{id}/publish`

**Operation ID:** `publishArticleStagingRevision`

Import canonical Articles as isolated drafts. Review the returned immutable revision and explicitly publish it to staging. Production Article reads and serving routes remain unchanged. Requires collection-scoped server credentials; content channel is independent of TEST/LIVE transaction mode.

## Contract status

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Maturity | `preview` |
| Required capability | `content.publish` |
| Freshness class | `authenticated-state` |
| Quota cost | `1` |

All operations require a Kismet Developer Bearer credential. Collection and resource authority is resolved from the credential's installation grants; identifiers in the URL never grant access.

## Request parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `collection` | path | string | yes |  |
| `id` | path | string | yes |  |

## Request body

The request body is JSON. The canonical schema is:

  "properties": {

## cURL

Set `KISMET_API_ORIGIN=https://api.ksmt.app` and configure `KISMET_DEVELOPER_API_KEY` in your environment. Run server-credential requests from your backend, not browser code.

```sh
curl --request POST \
  "$KISMET_API_ORIGIN/v1/developer/collections/example-collection/articles/imports/revisions/11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111/publish" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $KISMET_DEVELOPER_API_KEY" \
  --header "Accept: application/json" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
