I woke up this morning to find that whilst I was asleep my unfinished sermon was published to soundfaith without my permission. I was asleep at the time and so I know there's nothing I did. I have also never used soundfaith before.
There's a check box at the bottom of the Sermon header information to pubilish it automatically to Soundfaith. I think this was new in 7.5. I make sure it's unchecked every time, as it somehow got checked on one occasion. I suspect if you check your Sermon document you'll find this box is checked.
Thanks Greg.
Shouldn't be that easy, I think a button would be more appropriate. It's like one of those opt in email things.
Shouldn't be that easy
I agree... mostly. It should be that easy for those who want it to be so, but it should be an OPT IN and NO ACTION should be required on the part of those who don't want to participate.
Thanks for the feedback.
Unchecking the checkbox sets a preference that will apply to all future Sermon Editor documents. In other words, you only need to uncheck it once.
Additionally, the sermon that was published can be deleted by updating the publish state on soundfaith.com
My apologies for the unexpected behavior, we definitely want to leave control of your content up to you.
This thread encouraged me to check my soundfaith....
I noticed the publish tick and before I started writing the sermon, made sure it was unchecked. But still it was published...albeit draft...multiple times. If it's unchecked, it should never go any place except my own documents...even in draft state.
This bothers me for some reason. I feel strongly that my data is trusted to stay in one place. And, is logos profiting off of the intellectual work of their users? Did user agreement change regarding my data? Will other data be shared on other sites that I will have to police to make sure it's not published?
If I delete from soundfaith on that website, does it delete on documents.logos.com?

John, are you using Proclaim? When you send your sermon to Proclaim we automatically create a sermon document in draft mode on SoundFaith.com. The draft sermon is only visible to your account. We do this so when/if you publish your audio recording from Proclaim to SoundFaith the Sermon Editor metadata is preserved and updated, instead of overwritten.
More information about sermon audio recording and publishing in Proclaim can be found here.
Can you imagine the outcry that would happen if Microsoft started publishing everything we wrote in Word? Especially if they charged others to use your writings? I have been using sermon builder and have had mixed thoughts about it, trying to decide whether to continue using it as it matures. This makes the decision easy. I am going back to Word and Powerpoint and publish my sermons when and where I decide to do so.
Wait a minute, I just noticed I have 7.5 version and the check box for automatically publishing to sound faith is not showing on my sermon editor. Any idea why? Is that feature still in beta? My Spanish sermon published to soundfaith which I don't mind, but it'd be nice to have the option which one I want to publish and which one not.

OK, so it's showing on a new sermon when I open a blank sermon document, but the option is not available when I click on the edit sermon link on previously created sermons. Now what? How do we fix this to unpublish and publish back and forth?
Thanks!
I agree as well. I don't know if I'm speaking for most, but most of my sermons are for my congregation as they sometimes contain personal or contextual info. I love the idea of publishing a sermon for the public when I want to but I was surprised I had to uncheck a button when I used Sermon Editor for the first time. Sometimes sermons are partially finished or in point form as well which wouldn't make any sense to anyone if they were to get published. Please separate this feature a little further from the basic use of the editor.
