Publishing asks less of you

What shipped. Three small changes on the road from draft to live, each removing a step creators were stalling on.

• The review settles the content rating. You no longer have to pick a rating before you can publish. The automatic review looks at the artwork, sets a rating on a series that has none, and raises one the artwork has outgrown. It never lowers a rating you set yourself. Explicit artwork is still held for a person to look at. The rating picker stays on the series form for anyone who wants to set it.
• First to last is the default page order. The chapter editor no longer asks you to confirm the reading order before review. Pages read first to last in the order shown, and the arrows on each page move it. Left to right is also the default direction for a new series; right to left and vertical scrolling remain one click away.
• A blocked publish says so up front. If something still stands in the way, such as the content policy acknowledgement, Publish tells you before anything changes, instead of leaving a chapter half published.

Why it matters. Every extra confirmation between "my pages are ready" and "readers can see them" is a place to lose someone. The review was already looking at every page; asking you to guess the rating first added nothing.

How to use it. Press Publish. That is the change.
