You can publish your file to create a public read-only copy of the file available under a permanent URL. If you continue working on the file, your new changes won’t be published until you re-publish your changes.

Important things to remember:

• Only the creator of a file can publish, unpublish, or publish changes to a file.
• Published files are read only. No one can change the contents of a published file. The only way to change a published file is by publishing your latest changes.
• Published files are public. Anyone with the published file’s link will be able to view the published file.
