Personal vs. Published Versions

Sources

Docs: Personal, Collaboration and Participation Modes Web App: Open Collaboration in Ponder to enable publishing or inspect Participants, Pushes, and Publishing.

Story

Personal and Published Versions are Collaboration Modes. A new composed Parable starts Personal. Its author can edit the main ref directly, then enable versioning when work needs separate Changes and participation. A saved Version is publication history. A Personal Parable can retain earlier Versions after publishing is disabled, so history alone does not determine its mode.

Structure

Choice	Result
Stay Personal	Continue editing main directly.
Enable Publishing & Pinging	Start a Changes set and expose Participants, Pushes, and Publishing.
Publish a Version	Record reviewed content for its configured audience.
Disable Publishing	Return the origin to Personal, pocket open Changes, and remove other participants while retaining main and publication history.

Published Versions does not mean public on the internet. Workspace access and Parable responsibilities still govern the audience. Push destinations apply to future publishes and do not deploy immediately when selected.

Stability

Disabling publishing does not withdraw existing Workspace copies. Use the appropriate revoke or retract action when earlier published content must stop reaching an audience.
