# z_Publish This folder is an auto-generated, spoiler-free mirror of the notes flagged `publish-sync: true` elsewhere in the vault, produced by the **publish-sync** skill. It's what actually gets pushed to Obsidian Publish for the player group. Note the two separate flags: `publish-sync: true` on a *source* note tells the skill to mirror it here. `publish: true` is Obsidian's own native flag, written by the skill onto the *mirrored copy* in this folder — that's the one that actually makes a page live on the public site, since Obsidian Publish watches the whole vault by that field. Source notes stay `publish: false` on purpose so raw/unscrubbed content never goes live directly. **Don't hand-edit anything in here.** Edits made directly to a file in this folder will just get overwritten the next time the skill runs. To change what players see, edit the real source note (in `2-World/`, `1-Session Journals/`, `1-Party/`, or `3-Mechanics/`) and re-run publish-sync — or, to add a note to the wiki for the first time, set `publish-sync: true` in its frontmatter and run the skill. Sync state (which notes are up to date) is tracked in `z_publishSettings/Publish Manifest.md`, not here.
