See Platform status.
How distribution works
Whitepapper sends title, body, and metadata-derived fields to the target platform.
The intended flow is to distribute published papers so the canonical source URL is publicly reachable.
Token storage options
For Hashnode and Dev.to:
- Store in cloud: token saved in account settings
- Session only: token used for current action and not stored server-side
These behaviors map to user preferences:

Editor flow

- Provide token if needed

Sync behavior
Distribution is one-way per action. Post updates are not auto-synced back to platforms.
