We have shipped a large number of improvements that have largely decreased the number of posts failing to appear in Publications. In addition, work has been done to stabilize other surfaces relating to Publications and their layouts. We are confident that a large majority of the behaviors observed have been stabilized, but acknowledge that some users may still experience abnormalities. If you experience undesired behavior in your publication, please contact us at help.medium.com so that we can better understand the nature of the problem, and address it as soon as possible.

We are seeing improvements from the changes we have deployed, and can confirm reduced frequency in the issues related to posts being shared in publications. We are continuing to improve the reliability of this product surface, and will continue to provide updates as we validate the impact of our changes as they relate to specific behaviors. We appreciate the patience as we continue to investigate and apply fixes as quickly as possible. If you continue to experience any issues with your publication, please submit a request at help.medium.com

Update - 27-October Some additional fixes have taken effect as of today. We are seeing improvements in new posts showing up in Publications. This behavior should be visibly improved. Please continue reporting any new occurrences of this behavior, as we are still working to improve the experience in Publications. Some other problematic behaviors remain and are still being investigated. These include (but are not limited to) posts appearing in Publications that should no longer do so and layout updates not being immediately reflected. We will continue to provide updates as additional improvements deploy.

Numerous improvements have been shipped this week. While we still see some degraded performance and abnormal behavior with publication pages, we are beginning to see improved backend performance. Some additional fixes are still underway, and we will continue to provide updates as further improvements are made to the components powering publications. In the meantime, please continue to report abnormalities as they are encountered.

We appreciate your patience.

We have identified the missing core data dependencies that connect stories with publications, and are working to fix those now. Please bear with us.

There continue to be delays when performing certain actions within publications. There are multiple, parallel efforts underway to address the issue. Some fixes have already shipped, so we are hopeful the experience will improve soon. More updates to follow as we ship more fixes directly tied to this issue.
