When you're happy with your kernel, you can publish it for use elsewhere in the script or in an entirely separate Nuke script. Published kernels are wrapped in a Group node, so you can save them as gizmos if required.
Blink kernels can also be encoded using the built-in kernel protection. Protected kernels are not readable when the published node is saved to a script.
Certain BlinkScript functions are only available with a NukeX license. The following table describes the various levels of access for the Nuke family.

To publish a kernel:
| 1. | Double-click the BlinkScript node to open the properties panel and click the Kernel Parameters tab. |
| 2. | If you intend to encode your kernel, enable Protect kernel. |
In a Nuke script, protected kernels appear as shown in the example below.
| 3. | Click Publish. |
Nuke creates a Group node using the name of the kernel as a label. For example, using the WipeKernel supplied in the documentation produces the following expanded group.
If you want to save the group as a gizmo, go to the group's properties panel Node tab and then click export as gizmo. See Creating and Sourcing Gizmos for more information.
