Publishing
Episode lifecycle
What each episode state means, and how numbering works.
| State | What it means | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
uploading | The file is on its way to us. | You |
processing | We’re converting it for playback. | You |
ready | It can be published or scheduled. | You, until published |
failed | Processing didn’t finish. The episode page shows the error. Upload the file again. | You |
| Scheduled | It goes public at the time you chose. | You, until then |
| Published | It’s public, and its number is now fixed. | Everyone |
| Taken down | We removed it. The reason appears in Studio. | You |
Numbering
Only unpublished episodes can be moved. Published episodes keep their number so viewers’ progress and purchases stay correct. Episode numbers run across the whole series, not per season.
