Critical Warning: Publishing a World as Non Discoverable and then switching to Discoverable Automatically Enables Members Only Option in the Desktop Editor

Please be aware that there is currently a bug in the Desktop Editor which can have implications when publishing your world. 

If you have published your world, with Discoverable set to off, setting Discoverable to on in the Publishing modal in the Desktop Editor will automatically switch Members-Only to on. 

Please make sure that you switch Members-Only to off before you publish your update, as judges will not be able to judge your world if it is set to Members-Only, and it must be available to play on mobile.

If you are impacted by this issue please alert us as soon as possible in the submission thread.

 

Good luck with your submissions, and we look forward to seeing your amazing creations!

As long as the world can be accessed, it should be okay if the world is marked as "Beta".

Yeah I just duped it and made it public, now it works.

Just double-checking. It's okay to record footage using the DE in mobile preview mode, right? I also include footage of it running on my actual phone, and it's very close in experience. But recording on the phone (especially with iOS's screen recorder that doesn't record in-app audio) is a giant pain in the neck. And leads to poorer results.

Feels worth asking as I'm editing this thing down.

Are you able to get the mobile UI to show up properly aligned in DE?

I mean, it's not *identical*. But for trailer purposes, it's totally representative of the mobile experience.

I see I cant publish my world to the public - is the solution to dupe it and then publish to the public?

Check your settings and make sure you didn’t accidentally make the world members only. If you did , the clone is fix the setting rename the world and it should publish and be searchable. I made that mistake once.

Then clone it …..
