# Preview and publish Memory

> Move reviewed documents into an immutable public version and activate it when you are ready.

Publishing is the moment when a selected draft becomes a version that the public runtime can use. The process is explicit so you can see what will go live.

## Preview first

Open the publication panel from **Memory**. The preview shows:

* the next version name;
* the exact Raw and Derived files included;
* the generated Memory indexes;
* warnings about sensitive Public files;
* changes compared with the previous version;
* the draft and Profile revisions used for the preview.

Read the preview like a release checklist. A Public file can be eligible without being the right file for this version.

## Publish and activate

<Steps>
  <Step title="Resolve warnings">
    Review missing Properties, duplicate special roles, and High/Restricted sensitivity warnings. Make an explicit decision for sensitive content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm publication">
    TLDT rechecks that the draft and its revisions have not changed while you were reviewing. The selected content is stored as an immutable version.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate when ready">
    Activation moves the public runtime pointer to that version. Until activation, the previous live version remains active.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Versions are independent

Changing a draft after publication does not change the published version. To update the profile, edit the draft, preview a new version, publish it, and activate it. To roll back, activate an older immutable version.

<Warning>Do not treat a successful draft save as a public release. The public profile reads only the active published version, never a draft fallback.</Warning>
