Minor Version not Published in XPM

Question

When I make a change in XPM, to a Workflow enabled item, I would expect the edited (minor version to be republished)

However, I see that only the last major version seems to be automatically published

Then I am continually presented with the Update Preview requests and the content within the CME and that on the staging website do not match

I did notice this post Can you get experience manager to publish minor revisions? (items in workflow), but I was hoping for something OOTB

If I manually override the publish to include the in-workflow version then Update Preview message is removed

Answer 1

The feature to publish item in workflow was added in web 8, look at the documentation

So I am really doubtful if that functionality is available OOTB on 2013-sp1-hr1. So only option left with you is to do the customization suggested in other article.

Answer 2

If you publish manually it always publishes the major version. To publish the minor version you could add an automated task (use assembly or C# code) to publish the minor item.
