Three ways a write takes effect

Nothing is written without your confirmation. What happens after that, though, depends on what you are changing:

You are changing…	Effect	Safety net
The curriculum or a document (lessons, sections, images, the subject guide…)	Goes into the draft	Nothing is official until it is published. The last change can be undone.
The catalog or the lexicon	Published immediately	The preview you see before confirming. No undo.
A delivered file, a member	Written immediately	The confirmation names the file or the person, and the workspace. No undo.

Short glossary

Term	Meaning
Workspace	The container for a curriculum. It owns the curricula, the catalog, the lexicon and the produced documents, and it is where roles are granted.
Grade / subject	The scope you work in within a workspace. You work on one at a time.
Knowledge graph	The curriculum as a network: standards, content, documents, and the links between them.
Standard	What the pupil has to learn. Its levels carry whatever names your curriculum gives them.
Objective	A specific learning goal. It is what a lesson aligns to.
Learning component	A fine-grained skill that spells out part of an objective.
Alignment	The link saying that a lesson teaches an objective (or that an assessment assesses it).
Course	The root of a subject's content.
Grouping	A set of lessons: a chapter, unit, week, day… depending on your curriculum.
Lesson	The unit of teaching, aligned to an objective.
Activity	What the pupil does: an exercise, with its instructions and the expected answer.
Document	What gets produced: a book, a guide, a lesson sheet. It covers part of the curriculum.
Section	A page or part of a document, with what it covers and how it is put together.
Assembly guide	What a section says about how its page should be composed.
Journal	The dated record of the decisions made about a document or a section. It is never printed.
Instructional routine	A reusable plan for how a session unfolds. Applies to a course, a lesson or an activity.
Formatter	How a document looks: instructions, page settings, templates, languages. Applies to a document.
Page template	A page structure written once, which the server fills in from the curriculum.
Evaluation grid	The criteria used to judge a produced document. Applies to a document.
Catalog	The library of routines, formatters and evaluation grids: one shelf per workspace, plus a shared one.
Lexicon	The workspace's terms in each of its languages. It guides translation.
Subject guide	The subject's conventions and what the curriculum should cover, written as prose. Claude reads it before writing.
Draft	Changes that are waiting and not yet official. There is one per subject.
Publish	To make the draft official. Production then uses it.
Preview	A file produced on the side so you can look at it, without delivering anything.
Deliverable	A file placed in the official documents area.
Stale	Describes a file produced before a change to the part of the curriculum it covers.
