As far as I know, yes, this is correct. The critter is the critter is the critter. Now, I don't think it actually changes them IN the arc until you edit and republish, but that may have been just me getting in ahead of the server's slow update one time.
Dec out.

Thanks. Yeah, I think you can get around it by making your edits and saving the arc and then putting the critter back the way it was, but I was hoping it wouldn't change the original, so then I wouldn't have to remember what it was. 
I'm settling for making backup copies of different versions, but that introduces its own headaches.
Just a quick question to make sure I understand this. If you edit a custom character in the MA, it will change anywhere you used that specific critter in a Custom Villain Group or Mission, right? You cannot, say, save the critter file to a CVG, copy it to another CVG, and then go in and edit the critter's stats only for that CVG. You would have to create a whole new character (critter file) with a separate name.
