Published vs Draft
Projects always have a published version and a draft version. A new project starts with only a draft and no published version. Once your template is ready, you create your first published version by clicking the "Publish" button.
Note that this is only the first step in sharing a template with someone else. You still need to either attach the project to a Workspace in Bluepic SOCIAL or create a Widget to give other users access.
The purpose of the published and draft version system is to allow you to make edits to a project, even when it is already shared with users, without those edits immediately going live and becoming visible.
Example: You have already embedded a template as a widget on your website. Now, you want to change a detail in the template's design. You don’t want your website visitors to see the edits happening in real time. Only when you’re done editing do you want to publish the new version of the template and replace the old one. This is exactly what the version system allows you to do.
While there is only one draft version at any given time, all published versions are stored in a version history. You can retrieve a previously published version and replace your current draft with it.
Think of the published version history as a stack of paper—the version on top is the one visible to users. Clicking the "Publish" button creates a copy of your current draft and adds it to the top of the stack.
