-
-When you have created an composition you want to publish, you will need to tag existing composition. To do this open the `Creator` through the extensions `Create` button.
-
-![Creator](assets/aftereffects_creator.png)
-
 Because of current rendering limitations, it is expected that only single composition will be marked for publishing!
 
-After Creator is successfully triggered on selected composition, it will be marked with an icon and its color
-will be changed.

-![Highlights](assets/aftereffects_creator_after.png)

 ### Publish
 
+When you are ready to share some work, you will need to publish it. This is done by opening the `Publisher` through the `Publish...` button.
+
+There is always instance for workfile created automatically (see 'workfileCompositing' item in `Subsets to publish` column.) This allows to publish (and therefore backup)
+workfile which is used to produce another publishable elements (as `image` and `review` items).
+
+Main publishable item in AfterEffects will be of `render` family. Result of this item (instance) is picture sequence that could be a final delivery product or loaded and used in another DCCs.
+
+First select existing composition and then press `Create >>>` in middle column of `Publisher`.
+
+After this process you should have something like this:
+
+![Highlights](assets/aftereffects_publish_instance.png)
+
+Name of publishable instance (eg. subset name) could be configured with a template in `project_settings/global/tools/creator/subset_name_profiles`.
+(This must be configured by admin who has access to Openpype Settings.)
+
+Trash icon under the list of instances allows to delete any selected `render` instance.
+
+Workfile instance will be automatically recreated though. If you do not want to publish it, use pill toggle on the instance item.
+
+If you would like to modify publishable instance, click on `Publish` tab at the top. This would allow you to change name of publishable
+instances, disable them from publishing, change their task etc.
+
+Publisher allows publishing into different context, just click on any instance, update `Variant`, `Asset` or `Task` in the form in the middle and don't forget to click on the 'Confirm' button.
+
 #### RenderQueue
 
 AE's Render Queue is required for publishing locally or on a farm. Artist needs to configure expected result format (extension, resolution) in the Render Queue in an Output module. Currently its expected to have only single render item and single output module in the Render Queue.
 
 AE might throw some warning windows during publishing locally, so please pay attention to them in a case publishing seems to be stuck in a `Extract Local Render`.
 
-When you are ready to share your work, you will need to publish it. This is done by opening the `Publish` by clicking the corresponding button in the OpenPype Panel.
+#### Repair Validation Issues
 
-![Publish](assets/aftereffects_publish.png) 
+If you would like to run validation rules set by your Studio, click on funnel icon at the bottom right. This will run through all
+enabled instances, you could see more information after clicking on `Details` tab.
 
-This tool will run through checks to make sure the contents you are publishing is correct. Hit the "Play" button to start publishing.
+If there is some issue in validator phase, you will receive something like this:
+![Validation error](assets/aftereffects_publish_failed.png)
 
-You may encounter issues with publishing which will be indicated with red squares. If these issues are within the validation section, then you can fix the issue. If there are issues outside of validation section, please let the OpenPype team know. For More details have a look at the general [Publish](artist_tools.md#publisher) documentation.
+All validators will give some description about what the issue is. You can inspect this by clicking on items in the left column.
+
+If there is an option of automatic repair, there will be `Repair` button on the right. In other case you need to fix the issue manually.
+(By deleting and recreating instance, changing workfile setting etc.)
+
+#### Render instance options
+
+There are currently 2 options of `render` item:
+- Render of farm - allows offload rendering and publishing to Deadline - requires Deadline module being enabled

+#### Create
+
+Main publishable item in Photoshop will be of `image` family. Result of this item (instance) is picture that could be loaded and used in another DCCs (for example as
+single layer in composition in AfterEffects, reference in Maya etc).
+
+There are couple of options what to publish:
+- separate image per layer (or group of layers)
+- all visible layers (groups) flattened into single image
+
+In most cases you would like to keep `Create only for selected` toggled on and select what you would like to publish. Toggling this off
+will allow you to create instance(s) for all visible layers without a need to select them explicitly.
+
+For separate layers option keep `Create separate instance for each selected` toggled, select multiple layers and hit `Create >>>` button in the middle column.
+
+This will result in:
+
+![Image instances creates](assets/photoshop_publish_images.png)
+
+(In Photoshop's `Layers` tab standard layers will be wrapped into group and enriched with ℗ symbol to denote publishable instance. With `Create separate instance for each selected` toggled off
+it will create only single publishable instance which will wrap all visible layers.)
+
+Name of publishable instance (eg. subset name) could be configured with a template in `project_settings/global/tools/creator/subset_name_profiles`.
+(This must be configured by admin who has access to Openpype Settings.)
+
+Trash icon under the list of instances allows to delete any selected `image` instance.
+
+Workfile instance will be automatically recreated though. If you do not want to publish it, use pill toggle on the instance item.
+
+If you would like to modify publishable instance, click on `Publish` tab at the top. This would allow you to change name of publishable
+instances, disable them from publishing, change their task etc.
+
+Publisher allows publishing into different context, just click on any instance, update `Variant`, `Asset` or `Task` in the form in the middle and don't forget to click on the 'Confirm' button.
+
+#### Validate
+
+If you would like to run validation rules set by your Studio, click on funnel icon at the bottom right. This will run through all
+enabled instances, you could see more information after clicking on `Details` tab.
+
+![Image instances creates](assets/photoshop_publish_validations.png)
+
+In this dialog you could see publishable instances in left colummn, triggered plugins in the middle and logs in the right column.
+
+In left column you could see that `review` instance was created automatically. This instance flattens all publishable instances or
+all visible layers if no publishable instances were created into single image which could serve as a single reviewable element (for example in Ftrack).
+
+Creation of Review could be disabled in `project_settings/photoshop/publish/CollectReview`.
+
+If you are satisfied with results of validation phase (and there are no errors there), you might hit `Publish` button at bottom right.
+This will run through extraction phase (it physically creates images from `image` instances, creates `review` etc) and publishes them
+(eg. stores files into their final destination and stores metadata about them into DB).
+This part might take a while depending on amount of layers in the workfile, amount of available memory and performance of your machine.
+
+You may encounter issues with publishing which will be indicated with red squares. If these issues are within the validation section, then you can fix the issue. If there are issues outside of validation section, please let the OpenPype team know.
+
+You can always start new publish run with a circle arrow button at the bottom right. You might also want to move between phases (Create, Update etc)
+by clicking on available tabs at the top of the dialog.

-### New Publisher
-
-All previous screenshot came from regular [pyblish](https://pyblish.com/) process, there is also a different UI available. This process extends existing implementation and adds new functionalities.
-
-To test this in Photoshop, the artist needs first to enable experimental `New publisher` in Settings. (Tray > Settings > Experimental tools)
-![Settings](assets/experimental_tools_settings.png)
-
-New dialog opens after clicking on `Experimental tools` button in Openpype extension menu.

-After you click on this button, this dialog will show up.

-
-You can see the first instance, called `workfileYourTaskName`. (Name depends on studio naming convention for Photoshop's workfiles.). This instance is so called "automatic", 
-it was created without instigation by the artist. You shouldn't delete this instance as it might hold necessary values for future publishing, but you can choose to skip it
-from publishing (by toggling the pill button inside of the rectangular object denoting instance).
-
-New publisher allows publishing into different context, just click on a workfile instance, update `Variant`, `Asset` or `Task` in the form in the middle and don't forget to click on the 'Confirm' button.
-
-Similarly to the old publishing approach, you need to create instances for everything you want to publish. You will initiate by clicking on the '+' sign in the bottom left corner.

-- `Create only for selected` - mimics `Use selected` option of regular publish
-- `Create separate instance for each selected` - if separate instance should be created for each layer if multiple selected

-
-Here you can see a newly created instance of image family. (Name depends on studio naming convention for image family.) You can disable instance from publishing in the same fashion as a workfile instance.
-You could also decide delete instance by selecting it and clicking on a trashcan icon (next to plus button on left button)

-- `Refresh publishing` - set publishing process to starting position - useful if previous publish failed, or you changed configuration of a publish

-- `Validate` - if you would like to run only collecting and validating phases (nothing will be published yet)
-- `Publish` - standard way how to kick off full publishing process
-
-In the unfortunate case of some error during publishing, you would receive this kind of error dialog.
-
-![Publish failed](assets/artist_photoshop_new_publisher_publish_failed.png)

-In this case there is an issue that you are publishing two or more instances with the same subset name ('imageMaing'). If the error is recoverable by the artist, you should
