Publishing an Edition

Publication is two switches, and both must be on.

The text must be public	Manage → Texts → the Public switch beside the title
The edition must be public	The Public toggle on the edition's row in the Editions tab

Until both are set, the edition exists only in the Editor. The Share menu in the header tells you which one is missing — its items are disabled, and hovering explains: This text is private. Make the text public to open it in the Viewer.

Why two

They control different things. A public text makes the manuscript and its images available; a public edition makes one particular reading available. That lets you publish a finished edition of a manuscript while a second, in-progress edition of the same fragment stays private.

The Editor fails closed: anything not explicitly public is treated as private, so an edition is never exposed by an ambiguous setting.

Before you publish

Publication makes the edition readable by anyone with the link, so it is worth a pass through the report first — it shows the whole edition in one scroll, in all three display modes, and unfinished work is obvious there in a way it is not in the Editor.

Worth checking:

• Tokens with no lemma. Their cartouches have no second line in the transcription pane.
• The edition's Name, which is what readers see in the Viewer's edition dropdown.
• Translation and Chāyā on the edition, on sequences, or both — whichever the edition uses.
• Text-critical marks, since they drive what the diplomatic and reconstructed readings show.

Unpublishing

Turning either switch off withdraws the edition. Existing links stop resolving. Nothing is deleted, and turning it back on restores access.

Deleting

Deleting an edition removes it and everything in it; deleting a text removes every edition and image belonging to it. Neither can be undone, and both are offered only from the ⋮ menus, behind a confirmation naming what is about to go.
