This content is also available at learn.palantir.com ↗ and is presented here for accessibility purposes.

📖 Task Introduction

You’ve made several updates to your object view, but are they saved, and who can see them? We strongly suggest reading the recommended reading below to answer these questions in detail.

When you Save your object view configuration, you save a version that you can optionally Publish, which makes the view available to anyone with the viewer role on the backing dataset.

By default, the Save and Publish functions are combined into a single Save & Publish ▾ button at the top of the screen. In this task, you'll decouple these functions and perform them separately.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. Decouple the Save and Publish functions by clicking the in the Save & Publish ▾ button at the top right of the screen.
  2. Set the Automatically publish versions toggle to the “Off” position. Note that the Save & Publish ▾ button has been replaced with a simple Save ▾ button.
  3. Click Save ▾. Until you make additional changes to your view, a Publish button now appears in place of Save ▾.
  4. To the right, click the ⟲ History button to open the Edits history panel on the right. Mouse over the prior versions and notice you’re able to preview and republish old versions.
