# Side Menu
Easy2Patch 4.0 has a new Side menu to track and control publishing activities.
When a scheduled or manual application deployment starts, "Application publishing is ready" text turned into "Application publishing is in progress" with red flashing text.
You can also access "[SCCM connection settings](/configuring/easy2patch-4.0-settings/connection-settings/sccm.md)", "[General Maintenance Settings](/configuring/easy2patch-4.0-settings/general-settings/maintenance.md)" via this menu.
[**SCCM Maintenance**](/managing-easy2patch/easy2patch-4.0/application/sccm-maintenance.md) has been explained in this [page](/managing-easy2patch/easy2patch-4.0/application/sccm-maintenance.md).
### **SCCM Connection**
With this button you can test SCCM connection. If SCCM connection is healthy then this button turned green, else turned red. When this button red and SCCM connection not successful, you can't send Applications to SCCM as an application.
### **Publish (Upper Button)**
It is used to send the applications selected in the list to SCCM. It can be used to manually start the publish process instead of scheduled. Applications that are not selected in the list or whose Save button is not pressed after being selected are not sent to SCCM with this method. This button always enabled except scheduled Application Deployment process is not in progress.
### **Deploy**
It is used to deploy the applications selected in the list to specified collections in [deployment settings](broken://pages/oUAcT17R61S8HtUfpcvG) or [application custom settings](/managing-easy2patch/easy2patch-4.0/application/application-custom-settings.md). If selected application is not exist in the SCCM, it can be used to manually start the publish process. Applications that are not selected in the list or whose Save button is not pressed after being selected are not sent to SCCM with this method. This button always enabled except scheduled Application Deployment process is not in progress.
### **Sync SCCM Applications**
Sometimes the application-based link between SCCM and Easy2Patch may be broken due to manual interventions. This button synchronize application list with SCCM and Easy2Patch 4.0.
### **Publish (Bottom Button)**
This button is only active if one or more applications have been manually selected in the list. It is used to distribute the application regardless of whether the application's checkboxes are checked. It can be used actively as long as a scheduled or manual publishing process is not ongoing.
### **Publish and Deploy**
