Unpublishing a file
Unpublishing a file resets the file's version number so it has a major and minor version number. For instance, if you have a file with a published version number of 1.0, its unpublished version number is going to be 1.1. In other words, when a file is unpublished, the published version number is removed, and it is replaced with a minor version number. Unpublishing a file can signify that it is no longer official but still an active document that is being maintained. For instance, publishing a chart and discovering that there are features missing might cause you to unpublish it.
