Publishing Checklist
treehouse builders toolkit
Before students submit their treehouse for publication they will need to check their pages for the following information. The information in the box below is an exact replica of the page students will see when they click submit for publication in the Treehouse Editor.
Please note:
When you click submit for publication your treehouse will go first to your teacher to review. If everything looks ok, your teacher will submit the treehouse to the ToL for publication. If you need to fix anything it will be returned to you to revise.
Once you click "submit for publication" you will not be able to edit your treehouse again until it is either published or returned to you to revise.

Publishing Checklist
Before you click submit for publication you must check the boxes below to let your teacher and ToL editors know that you have checked over your page. Checking a box means that you have checked for and corrected any problems for the corresponding areas.
If you can't check off some of the boxes below, please return to editing to fix the problem.
-
Personal information (name, photos, email, address).
- I do not have personal information on my page unless I have received permission in writing from my parent/guardian and permission from my school.
-
Copyright of media files (Copyright Rules and Issues | The Copyright Quiz)
- All images in my treehouse have copyright and/or credits information listed underneath them and all media files have copyright/credits information in the media details window when they are clicked on. The source for all images/media found outside of the ToL on the web is indicated, e.g. the name of the site and its URL (web address).
- Images/media marked as copyrighted to me were created by me.
- Permission has been received in writing for any copyrighted media files found on the web, or in print sources. Permission notes need to be pasted into the notes field of the media data form.
- The media data forms for the media in this page are filled out correctly.
-
Content/Design/Spelling (Design Guidelines | Basic Treehouse Guidelines)
- If your work has glaring spelling and grammar errors or lack of basic content please revise it before you submit your treehouse for publication. However, don't hesitate to submit your page if you have some formatting problems (e.g. the spacing is off or you are having trouble removing the color from some text) because it is easy for us to reformat your pages. Also, we realize that there are quirks in the Easy Editor that may cause formatting problems for you.
Remember that you must attach your page to a group for visitors to be able to access it from ToL branch and leaf pages. We will check to make sure you have attached your treehouse to the best place on the ToL.
