Question

Published world is broken, but "Preview" works?

So I have this issue now where the public version of my world is broken--the certain triggers don't work and objects don't show up. But if I click on the options for the world on mobile, I see a "Preview Version" that when I click that it works. What is this "preview version" and how can I make it the public version? No matter how many times I click publish, the public version is still broken in ways the "Preview Version" isn't.

Try doing another publish. The preview allows collaborators to visit the world without publishing it.

Yeah it works fine in preview in editor. But on device it was broken. However! I just republished and now it works?! So weird. I wonder if there's some kind of server maintenance issue that when you publish at certain times it can corrupt the world and leave a broken one up for the public version?
