Option to publish new set with Publishing Profiles
Currently, when you change the set in a publishing profile, the previous set is first published as deleted, and then the new set is published by the job. This behavior means that we have to duplicate an existing publishing profile each time we want to publish a new set with an existing publishing profile in order to get a "clean" output and to avoid overly long processing times publishing the old set as deleted. This results in the needless duplication of institutional publishing profiles and extra staff time to duplicate the publishing profiles to publish new sets. The current publishing behavior severely limits the use of publishing to only regular, incremental jobs. We, like many other libraries, have a need of publishing profiles that we can set up and then use to publish large, newly-created sets in their entirety at irregular intervals - for example, to send to OCLC Green Glass, or for publishing metadata to experiment with BIBFRAME. We need the ability to use an existing publishing profile with an entirely new set without extra steps or lengthy processing times.

We could use this, too. Trying to extract data for a library migrating out of our Alma system and having to reconfigure each time for a new set is really tedious.
