Publish a Visualization

Publication Status

Visualizations can be shared via publishing. In order to control the number of people capable of seeing the Visualization, Dragon1 uses a mechanism in which the author can specify who is able to see the Visualization. This mechanism is called the 'Publication Status'.

Dragon1 supports five publication statuses:

• Unpublished
  Typically used for drafts, this is the default status.
• Private
  Only visible for the user.
• Privileged
  Visible for the user and a selected group of people.
• Public
  Visible for all Dragon1 users.
• Worldwide
  Visible for everyone in the world.
