Hi Dis/loc I will let others answer more fully, but to give you short answers, if you upload a single file TiddlyWiki, it is not affected by the temporary changes users make online in their web browsers. When they try to leave the page, they will see a message that they can't save their changes.
And yes, there are ways to hide most of the editing controls when the file is viewed online. When you want to change it, you make the changes offline and upload it again. Hope that helps Dave On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 5:38:21 AM UTC-5, Dis/loc wrote: > > Hi all, I'm a complete n00b to TW, so I'm slowly wrapping my head around > the philosophy and potential uses. > > Apologies if these issues have been addressed elsewhere, but I wanted to > ask this question before I invested too much time in it, in case my needs > are best met with some other tool. > > I'm imagining a website where twiddlies are bits of non-linear narrative, > notes, quotes, etc. that can be explored in many different ways (links, > tags) and, over time, build up to a more ordered, linked-up 'final draft' > -- almost like a "process book" (in art-speak).
