Understand drafts and published versions
Learn how local working copies, pending changes, and published agent versions differ.

Working copies and published versions
The agent editor compares your current settings and workflow with the published version on the selected branch. An edit becomes a pending change in a browser working copy. It does not replace the published version by itself.
Threetone scopes the browser working copy to your user, workspace, agent, and branch. This prevents a draft from being restored into a different editing context.
Review and publish changes
Open the menu beside Publish and select View pending changes to compare the working copy with the published configuration. Selecting Publish opens Review Changes, where you can inspect the same difference and add a commit message.
Workflow errors block publishing until they are fixed. After a successful publish, the new server version becomes the editor baseline and the local working copy is removed.
Handle a newer server version
If another published version arrives while you have pending changes, the editor shows A newer published version is available and blocks publishing. Preserve any values you still need, then reconcile them with the newer version. Use Discard changes only when you are ready to reset the editor to the latest published configuration.
