Unpublish and Re-Publish
Have you explored the "Unpublish" feature?
I recently discovered the "Unpublish" button on read.cash, and I was blown away when I accidentally clicked it! I didn't lose anything. I learned a lesson worth sharing, at least I think so.
I published my last article, "Dream," etc., before the two-days "update" of the platform. The temporary stopped state of the blogging platform was our testing time for patience. Many of us thought it was a crashing/hacking of the platform!
BTW, I managed to post, "Update and Upgrade Life" after the big "Update" of read.cash. It reminds why a regular "Update and Upgrade" is always needed.
Now, without pouring any more side texts, I go to my discovery on read.cash.
I discovered the "Unpublish" feature after the great "Update"

Later read.cash reorganized its website with all its feature restored. I was too eager to write and post. First, I thought to update my last post on "Dream," which was tipped by a very few (as usual), including @Oikawa @CandyBoy and our digital well-wisher "TheRandomRewarder."
When I clicked the "Edit" button, I just noticed the "Unpublish" button below the "Publish" button. I was curious and thought to experiment with it later. But, accidentally, the mouse hit the "Unpublish" button.

The effect is awesomely pathetic! My post came out of public viewing because it did receive the impact of "publishing." I am not surprised by the click, but I am curious.
It is clear that "Unpublish" and "Delete" are distintly different features, "Delete" permanently deletes an article, with only one chance to recover as an unsaved draft. But, "Unpublish" permanently takes out an already published article from the public view, which can, of course, be re-published later.
There is no worry of missing the tipped amount from an "Unpublished" article because the tipped amounts are already transferred to the in-browser crypto wallet. In my experiment, I found that the minimal tips from my supporters and our digital AI-driven friend "TheRandomRewarder" already reached the digital in-browser wallet.
I am curious to know a few points from read.cash

The questions are pretty simple, but I don't find these points raised or described in the help articles of read.cash.
I write down the questions without any hesitation:
What if I "Re-Publish" an "Unpublished" article as it is?
What if I change the title a little bit (improve) and "Re-Publish?"
What if I modify the content in the body and "Re-Publish?"
Will the platform algorithm detect an "Unpublished" and then "Re-Published" article as "self-plagiarism?"
Conclusion
I recently discovered a new feature called "Unpublish" on the editor of read.cash.
It is clear that "Unpublish" and "Delete" are different features in the writing editor.
I "Unpublished" an article for an experiment.
Now, I wish to know if I "Re-Publish" the article as it is, what would happen?
Would I be marked for "self-plagiarism" by the platform algorithm?
Postscript
I am a novice on read.cash but not in the blogging domain. I have been a tech blogger since 2014. I discovered a new feature of read.cash writing GUI doesn't mean nobody found it earlier. Maybe, the feature was available before the update. I hope some of you will comment and correct me.
Cheers!
