SharePoint introduces a cross-site publishing feature that enables you to reuse content across multiple site collections. It uses built-in search capabilities to enable publishing scenarios and architectures. Share an item list or a page library as a publishing catalog.
When you publish a page, it becomes visible to everyone who can view your site. If you don’t publish a page, the only people who can see it are those who have edit permissions on your site. After creating and editing a page, you can save it as draft, discard changes, or publish.
Is there cross site publishing in SharePoint Server 2016?
Cross-site publishing is available only in SharePoint Server 2016. There are many planning steps that you must follow to build a solution that uses cross-site publishing. The first articles in this section explain key concepts about cross-site publishing in SharePoint Server, and describe how to plan the architecture to support it.
How to create a cross site publishing site?
“Plan site collections and site structure for SharePoint publishing sites” in Plan publishing sites for cross-site publishing in SharePoint Server.

What happens if I deactivate cross site publishing?
Deactivating the Cross-Site Publishing feature on an authoring site will not remove the contents of a connected catalog from a publishing site. By deactivating this feature, you will no longer be able to modify existing catalog settings, or connect other publishing sites to catalogs within the site collection.
The authoring site collection contains catalogs, such as Pages libraries and lists, which contain content that is tagged with metadata. These catalogs are indexed by the search system and made available to the publishing site collection.
