There are two types of profiles: working versions that should be considered ephemeral, and published versions that are intended to be long-term stable. For example, you may generate many working versions as you refine the software, fix bugs, etc. Then, when the profile is in a state where it is appropriate to share with others, it can be published.

Note that published profiles are generally not deleted, but ephemeral versions might be garbage collected to free up disk space. We will never delete the most recent version of a profile though, even if it is unpublished.

Do you want to publish your profile?
