Hello.
I am working on my first hub and I hit save to take a break, when I came back to edit it, it says, "this hub is incomplete and in danger of being deleted". It gave me the option to "unpublish" it, and so I hit that, but I didn't hit "publish" it in the first place. What does this mean? Am I able to save it, and sign out without publishing it and risking it getting deleted? Help! I really need to take a break, and I'm afraid I'm gonna mess this up!
Thank you so much for help.
You should also see something up above that says something like... only you can see this hub... if you see something like that, you should be fine!
Good luck and happy hubbing!!!
Welcome!
ProCW
Thank you ProCW!
OK, so I see where it says "unpublished status", I've saved my work, and now I want to sign out and get some sleep, but it asks me, "are u sure u want to close this tab, u may lose some or all of your work?" I already saved it, so should i just ignore that and sign out?
Thanks again,

I'm very timid when it comes to change if the change is not one of my own choosing, even if it is good change. Moving to HubPages was an upsetting experience for me, mainly because I felt the place we moved from would find a way to mess it up or that HP would treat us like illegal aliens.Only...

Recently Calculus-Geometry mentioned that when you change your topic category, a hub's URL changes to match it. I did not know this, so have been going back to check and realign my categories.While doing this, I noticed that I had a few articles that were very similar, so I ...

A few weeks ago I commented on a hub but the hubber deleted all mine as well as others comments since they didn't agree with his views of the Bible. I found the hub on 3-16 and the hubber took one of my removed comments and is now using it as a quote without my permission within the hub.I want...
