What happens when I publish my content?
To start, congratulations! Once your content is published, that's it, it's published and everyone can read it. You can start to accumulate contributions for your charity. Be sure that this published version is the version you want to release to the world, because you cannot delete pubished content, but you can make edits, additions or corrections to it.

Can I make changes to my Published content? Add, change or take away images, text...formatting?
Yes you can. You can edit your content as many times as you like. Your changes will be saved and "re" published.

Can I delete my Published content or change it back to Draft status?
No. Once you make your content is published, it stays published. Be sure this is the version you want to release to the world, because you cannot delete it or change its status to Draft. If you're not ready to share your content, Save as Draft first and Publish it later.

Can I make changes or delete someone else's published content?
No. If the content is not a public document such as a Wiki or Question & Answer, then you are unable to edit or delete the document. You can only make changes to a document you own.

Can other users on eLuminary see what I write, if I save my content as Draft?
No.Only you can see your content in Draft status, no one else (unless you copy & paste it somewhere else). Only content that has been published can be read by others. Feel free to publish first - you can always make updates later.
