Why is the 'Publish button disabled' after I've selected multiple articles?

When you select the articles to be bulk published, select only the new and draft state articles. Even if one published article is selected from the list, the Publish button would appear disabled.

Once published, the Article status indicator would change to green, making it easier for the user to differentiate between different articles.


Status indicators

If an article is new or an updated version of a previous article, you can notify the end-user by turning on the public Custom status indicator.
When the toggle bar for Automatically mark article status in Article settings is on, a “New” or “Updated” tag will show in your knowledge base. This can be observed on the Category manager (left-side category navigation pane) for a specified duration set by the author.
