Modifying Publications and Articles

You modify an existing publication or article in a manner similar to the way you create a new publication or article. However, you cannot modify a publication or article that has an existing subscription. Before modifying a publication or an article, you must drop all subscriptions. After modifying a publication or article, resubscribe all appropriate subscribers.
