Requests for public documents:
1. Add to favorite. For documents like 'fasteners doc' by @BruceBartlett where you would just snip a studio where you need not having your own copy of whole document. Always having the latest additions when using original document.
2. When adding a document public, give some options on how public it will be:
a) As it is now
b) When opening Public document from link, let visitor open sketches and see dimensions and examine how model is built. It's not convenient to always make a copy. For community support purpose.
c) Can edit & share. This would be for true innovations, everybody can participate and put Ons to it's limit. I would be nice to be able to throw some idea public and see after few days what has happened to it

Let's continue over here since topic matches better.
I like most of your suggestions, actually that's not true. I like all of them.
Situation 2b is currently (as you point out) quite inefficient for the helper or learner who wants to inspect a public document, but also (because they will almost certainly make their copied document public, so as not to curtail their quota) potentially costly in OnS server storage.

Didn't find that with 'public documents' search, word public gave too much results.. Enhancement to avoid multiple threads about same issue in forum would be a good topic too.
We have seen Ons develop a lot in the direction of comments here in the forum..
