   Can I edit published hubs without effecting my hubscore?
   
   Will editing my existing published hubs, turning a single hub into a sequenced 2 or 3 part for example, effect my hub score and the score of the existing hub? How does this effect the indexing in search engines?

   You sure can. If anything it will help your Hub score.

      Are you sure? Have you done it yourself? If so what were the results? Cheers!

   From the  edits i have done it didn't have a negative effect, livingabroad I am doing it quite a bit tweaking here and there, following advice i am reading in hubs The other thing is if you have a hub ready to go, star a new hub with the URL you want, title can be edited later, put in your photos, capsules and leave for a day or too This i found brings your hub score up! My last one i was tweaking and changing in unpublished mode and i noticed the score ended up going from early 50's to 70's!!
   For the indexing i am not sure i'am afraid!

   If you are making good edits, things that you feel improve the hub then your hubscore will either stay the same or increase (hopefully increase though some hubs seem to have a "ceiling" that they cannot rise above, or maybe this is just me).
   
   If you have a single hub that you think you can successfully turn into two or three by all means do it and link them together. Google views this favorably when you write several hubs around a topic and link them together.
   
   I doubt doing any of this will make your hubber score go down. If it does it will be a very temporary thing and then it will return to normal or go up. The more hubs you publish the less each individual hub will affect your hubber score.

   Just to let your folks know that I recently tried chopping up one of my hubs into a 3 part series. I took the content from one published hub and tried to publish it in another new hub.
   
   This didn't work and was not allowed by hub pages as it says the content is already somewhere else and very similar! Of course it its, it's the same!
   
   Any ideas?

      You have to give it about a week or so before you republish it. This gives google time to get the previous hub out of it's system. I had this problem when I published a poem on my blog then deleted it and published it here. Give it time.

      Thanks nochance! Do I have to unpublish the original hub where the content came from or can I just leave it there and wait for it to be re-scanned?

      You would want to delete the old hub. The content should only be published in one place at a time.
