# Edit, version, and unpublish Templates

## Open an owned Template

Open the account menu, select **My Templates**, choose the relevant Template,
and select **Edit**. Owned Templates remain available from this area when they
are private, published, or unpublished.

## Edit listing details

Use the **Details** tab to change the name, description, category, tags, or
license. Save and publish the change after checking the public meaning of every
field.

Eligible metadata-only changes update the listing without creating a new file
version. Examples include correcting a description or improving tags while the
published files remain unchanged.

## Edit files and folders

Use the **Content** tab for file text, file names, additions, removals, or folder
changes. These changes create a private draft beside the current public
version.

Content changes must pass review again. Publishing the approved draft creates
the next immutable version automatically.

## When a new version is needed

A version update is appropriate when published files change, including:

- correcting an instruction or example;
- adding or removing a file;
- reorganizing folders;
- changing a reusable Profile, Rule, or Skill;
- updating content for a changed workflow.

There is no separate manual version-upgrade control. The version number advances
when reviewed file-content changes are published. Metadata-only changes do not
advance it.

Release notes should briefly explain meaningful differences. Example:

```text
Added a short planning example and clarified the weekly review steps.
```

## Discard private changes

Use **Discard changes** when an unpublished edit should not continue. This
restores the latest published details and files. The public version remains
unchanged throughout the draft process.

## Unpublish a Template

Unpublishing is appropriate when:

- published guidance is outdated or misleading;
- a replacement requires more work;
- the material should no longer appear in public discovery;
- a rights, privacy, or safety concern needs investigation.

To unpublish:

1. Open the public owned Template page.
2. Select **Unpublish**.
3. Review the confirmation.
4. Confirm the action.

The Template moves to a private state and remains accessible through **My
Templates**. Ownership and version history are retained.

## Republish

An eligible unchanged release can be republished. If file content changed while
private, the updated draft must complete review before a new version can become
public.

## Review download activity

Open Memside and go to **Settings > Usage & Metrics**. The Library area shows
complete Template downloads, individual file downloads, and a list of the most
downloaded files from owned public Templates.

Metrics do not reveal downloader identities. See [Usage and
metrics](/product/usage-and-metrics/) for the complete guide.

## Maintenance checklist

Periodically check:

- whether the description still matches the files;
- whether examples remain accurate and generic;
- whether external links still work;
- whether the selected license remains appropriate;
- whether recent feedback indicates a confusing instruction;
- whether a file update needs a new reviewed version.
