Why Publish is explicit
The draft is mutable and autosaved. A published revision is immutable. This separation prevents a half-finished Editor change from silently replacing the last version that is ready to perform.
What happens during Publish
- VMuse saves the latest draft.
- The active scene is validated for playability.
- A new immutable revision is committed.
- Referenced audio, images, and animation artwork are prepared.
- The revision-bound Performance runtime is verified.
- Only then is the revision marked last-known-good.
Full-screen Performance
- Plays the last prepared published revision on the same iPad.
- Provides master volume and Mute All.
- Uses a protected three-second hold to exit.
- Keeps later draft changes separate until you publish again.
