Stop publishing

[Rosewebstudio]

Your right data is always live. If the user updates the data via a button you could always hide the button temporarily (using visibility condition for example) to stop the user updating.

Publishing Controls

Glide does not have the ability to run functions based on timers, so I’m not sure what you are referring to. The publishing control is only for the design of the app, and not the data. The data is always live — for example if you update data in your Google Sheet, it goes live right away.
