Public content
Public content refers to OTU/content text that has been "published". This content is available in public views.
Publishing content
To make your content visible to the public goto
OTU->show->content
and choose the template (via the "compare content OR show page:" dropdown) that contains the content you want to publish. Then click on the 'edit' link to edit our review your content, you will see a 'is_public' check box for text field. If the box is checked then when 'publish' is clicked that content (and all the figures associated with it) gets duplicated to a public version of the page.
Note- once you publish a page you create a static copy of that page. Further updates to the content is not made public until you "publish" again.
