    What does the "Public Preview" button in Article > Advanced Options do?

    When creating an article, what does "Public Preview" do? I can't find this in the manual or in a search. If there's somewhere that explains these settings, please let me know.

    It determines how much of the article can be viewed by the general public, i.e. unregistered guests and usergroups without permissions to view the full articles. The attachment is a ten paragraph article but the public preview only displays the first 200 characters. This usergroup does not have permission to view articles so clicking the "See More" and "Go To Post" links does not work. This usergroup can only see the preview. It's a teaser, an incentive for guests to register to view the full content. Click image for larger version
