Did “WORK ON A COPY WITHOUT AFFECTING THE ORIGINAL” always existed on Grist and I never noticed it before? Also, working on a copy now creates a second branched version of the document INSIDE the original team? I could swear everytime on Grist forums people shared a document and you clicked to work on a copy, the system would copy the document to your own personal Grist site.
There are two options, “Duplicate document…” which asks you where to put your full new independent copy (e.g. personal site) and then “Work on a copy” that just goes ahead and makes an “unsaved” working copy, which you could choose to then save somewhere special later, or replace the original with.
was it ALWAYS like that? I don´t remember this working on a copy thing like that.
Hmm In 2020 this was the UI:
By 2021 it seems to have reached close to current form?
Ok, so I guess I should go to the mental asylum
