Can Lightroom show which Publish Collections have pending updates?

In Lightroom, I use Publish Services (for example, SmugMug) and drag photos into different publish collections/galleries. I don’t always publish immediately after adding or changing photos. Is there a built-in way to quickly see which publish collections under a service have photos pending publication or updates?

I have never found one. I resort to having all collections in a service under a top-level one, which I call 'All', and at least then I can just click on each 'All' and do republish (rather than having to click on each collection.)
In my opinion Lightroom's Publish setup is good but not yet great if you are a 'power user.'

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Lightroom doesn’t appear to provide a good built-in overview for this. Based on the community response, there isn’t an easy way to list all publish collections with pending updates.
A practical workaround is to organize all collections for a publish service under a top-level collection set such as “All.” Then you can click through that grouping and republish from there, instead of hunting through every individual collection separately.
So the short answer is: not really—Lightroom’s Publish Services can show pending items within collections, but there isn’t a convenient global finder for all collections with unpublished changes.
