Doc,
You can't edit an arc while you are in it or on any "mission" map anymore.

Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
I think I understand what the problem is: You can't use test mode on published arcs. You have to edit, then save a copy, and test that local copy.
Thanks for the replies guys, and I understand where you both are coming from. I unpublished first and then went to test. Then I couldn't find the options in question.
I will double check that tho.
Thanks again

Doh, don't unpublish! When you edit a published arc, one of the options is "Save to local (stop working on published arc). Clicking this will save a local copy of your arc (although the changes won't apply to your published arc, so you should republish first, wait for the "Arc name" has been updated message, then hit search to refresh your window, then click edit again) which you can then play through in test mode.

I did not, in fact, unpublish the first time. I did do it between now and when you posted Eva. I will use that in the future though. Many thanks.

I have had spotty in-game attendance over the last six months. So I'm not up on everything new or changed.
The options in editing an arc seem to have changed. There is no more straight 'Test' option, I chose 'Republish and Test' because I wanted to go in and noodle with a few trouble spots. When I got what I thought was 'Test mode' I no longer had the Architect option screen in which I could toggle on Invincibility, enemies can't target me and so forth.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
