editing published missions

Please remind me how this is done. Can I edit locally and have it affect the published version? They say not to unpublish, as you will lose the ratings. I did a quick search without finding an answer, so any info is appreciated.

1) Go to your Published Arcs tab.

2) Click on the one you want to edit - there should be an "Edit" button where the Play and Unpublish buttons are.

3) Go and edit it to your heart's content.

4) Press the "Save" button when you're done. This will republish the arc, along with any changes you've made.

If you go to my creations->my published arcs, and click on any arc, it'll expand to reveal three buttons: unpublish, play, and edit. You have to edit it from published arcs.

Unfortunately you currently can't overwrite an existing arc with a publish from your local arcs.

It takes several seconds to upload, so be patient. Also I have noticed that the details in the Published Stories tab do not update right away. If you go to browse and search for your arc you will find it with the updated detail text (if any)

I feel so dumb. I saw only the "Play" option and figured that was it. Helps to actualy, you know, click the mission. Sorry and thanks.

I feel dumb, too. Thanks Arnabas for posting the thread. I didn't know I could do this and I lost my 5-digit arc number. Ah well

Make sure, when you edit the published mission, that after you republish, you do a second edit and do a save-as-local-file.

Otherwise it will change ONLY your published mission and not your local copy.

This is important if you later end up unpublishing your mission, which would cause you to lose your changes entirely unless they were saved locally.
