How do I edit a published story?

All,

I discovered one of my old story arcs had a typo. I went into Edit mode and fixed it. However, the changes didn't push to the live version. So, I went to my edited copy and published it, assuming it would update the old one. It didn't. It made a new story with the changes, but the old one was still there. So, I unpublished the new one.

Is there a way to edit the old published one? Or do I have to unpublish and delete it, and re-submit the new one? I don't want to lose my ratings (tho I only had 8) or any badges I may have got from those ratings, if any.

Thanks,

Lewis

When you edit the published version, there should be a "save and republish" button at the top. It's separate from "save locally".



Hope that helps.*

Wehn you have the AE interface up:
Make sure you are looking at My Creations.
Then make sure you are looking at My Published Stories.
Make sure you are NOT on My Local Stories, or else you will just edit the version of the arc on your hard drive, instead of the one that is on the game servers.

Just so you know....Sometimes when I Republish it takes a few minutes for it to take effect. If I start the arc before this has happened I get the old version.


Enjoy your day please.

That's what I was thinking when I first skimmed the original post; once you repub, you usually have to close then reopen the MA window as well.

I've considered making a guide to saving MA arcs to cover problems like that, but I just don't have the time. :/ Then again, it's probably already over on Paragonwiki anyway.
