Publishing Status in the Catalog

There is no separate publishing administration page in the dashboard. Publishing status shows per track inside the distribution Catalog, next to the songwriter, ISRC, UPC, and release metadata.

Where publishing status appears

Open Distribution > Catalog. Each track shows a Songwriter value and a Publishing status:

• On desktop, the Publishing column reads Sent or Pending.
• On mobile, the badge reads Publishing sent or Needs publishing.

Sent means the track has been submitted to Songtrust. Pending means it has not. These status fields appear for every distributed track. There is no separate toggle to enable publishing status.

Catalog summary signals

The catalog summary cards include Publishing pending and Missing songwriter counts, so you can see how many tracks still need writer or publishing data. See Distribution Catalog for the full set of summary cards and columns.

Publishing vs distribution

Area	Distribution	Publishing
Revenue type	Sound recording royalties	Composition and publishing royalties
Common data	ISRC, UPC, store, country, stream tier	Work, writer, publisher, society or source
Where it shows	Royalties, Analytics, Catalog	The Songwriter and Publishing columns in the Catalog

How to use both

Use the distribution pages to understand recording performance and payout status. Use the Songwriter and Publishing columns in the Catalog to see whether each track's composition data is complete.
