8.5. Publishing a Mix

Community can copy or publish its temporary Tracklist Preview. Pro can share complete saved Mixes. Open Share to review the exact title, optional DJ / creator byline, and track display names that will be public. Corrections made here belong to this Mix only. Copy Tracklist works without publishing and uses the Harmonic DJ product link until the current snapshot has its own page.

Choose Publish Mix to create that page. The first time this installation publishes, enter an email address. Harmonic DJ sends a review link; opening it shows the pending tracklist, and Publish and view Mix performs the actual publication. Merely opening the email does not publish anything. If the Share page remains open, it notices the confirmation automatically; View Mix and Unpublish then appear as outlined secondary buttons beside the publication status.

Successful confirmation also establishes a publishing credential on this computer. Later Mixes normally publish immediately without another email. If the credential is missing or rejected, Harmonic DJ asks for email verification again.

Editing a Mix never changes its public page by itself. After the first publication, the primary action becomes Update Mix; choosing it replaces the snapshot at the same canonical URL. Harmonic DJ stores the publication association with that saved Mix, so switching Mixes or restarting the application retains its published state. If email verification is required again, the existing version stays public until the reviewed update is confirmed. The page remains public until explicitly unpublished, and the linked copy-ready tracklist contains its permanent URL. Unpublishing permanently retires that URL; publishing the same local Mix again is allowed and creates a new URL.

Published pages contain visible tracklist and strategy details only. They never contain audio, local file paths, private Mix history, Library groups, locks, exclusions, or raw analysis evidence. Anyone with a published URL can view it, and the page may be indexed like an ordinary public web page.

When every published track has supported key information, the page also shows an interactive Mix Map. Selecting a map node or its left and right buttons highlights the matching public tracklist row; pointing to, focusing, or choosing a tracklist row selects the same track in the map. This visualization uses the visible published key information and does not add private Library or analysis data.

Another Harmonic DJ user can choose Library > Import Collection from Mix Link… and paste the public URL to create a path-free shared collection from its public track information. This does not import the Mix itself, transfer publication ownership, or silently follow later updates.
