Why do changes apply automatically to published docs?

1

I’m curious why publish works such that changes you make to your doc apply automatically to the published page?

This seems like it would be a weird experience for those interacting with my page to see content that could be half-finished as I’m iterating on something on a given page at the same time.

I’d expect some sort of additional “re-publish” step to dictate when I want my changes to go live. Is this possible?

I guess you have to not work on pages in a published doc, but work on a copy in if different doc and take it over to the published doc when ready. For me, I am happy to see I don’t have to republish when I make changes and I have asked if it would be possible to live-update the pages viewers have open as I am typing new copy.
What you ask seems to be what a ‘conventional’ CMS does standard.
