Publishing Is Permanent: What Gets Locked

Publishing asks you to sign one message with your wallet. Signing is free — no gas, nothing to pay — but it is a real commitment: it publishes your workflow with its logic and prices locked in.

What the Signature Authorizes

One signature publishes everything you entered in the wizard:

Your workflow (its nodes, connections, and logic)
Your prices (one-time purchase price, per-run price, max API cost)
Your linked sub-workflows, if any
Your workflow's name, description, category, tags, and image

Locked vs. Editable

Locked at publish (forever)	Editable later from the dashboard
Workflow logic	Name
One-time purchase price	Description
Per-run price and max API cost	Category
Linked sub-workflow addresses	Tags
Workflow image	Listing visibility (list / unlist)
	Pre-configured credentials (rotate any time)

Before You Sign — a 60-Second Check

Prices: is the per-run price what you meant? A typo here cannot be corrected.
Sub-workflow links: does each linked address resolve to the right workflow name?
Workflow: did you upload the final version, with test values removed?

Made a Mistake?

You can't edit a locked field, but you're never stuck:

Unlist the flawed workflow from your dashboard so no new buyers find it.
Publish a corrected version — upload the fixed workflow and set the right prices. Publishing is free; only listing needs a Listing Pass.

Existing buyers of the old version keep what they bought; new buyers get the corrected one.

Why It Works This Way

Buyers pay for exactly what they inspected: the workflow and prices they saw at purchase can never change under them. That guarantee is what lets strangers safely buy your workflow — and it's the same reason you can't quietly edit yours.
