At this point, your publishing request is reviewed by {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} to ensure that the required details, such as the product name, catalog entry, product page, pricing model, and support experience are complete and accurate. When your request is approved, you receive an email notifying you that you can publish your product to the catalog.
