What does private edit allow in the Pega environment?

Private edit in the Pega environment allows users to make changes to rules without disrupting others who may be using the same rules. When a user initiates a private edit, they effectively create a personal copy of the rule where they can make modifications in a controlled environment. This ensures that their changes do not affect the live version of the rule that other users may be working with or relying on at the same time.

This capability is especially useful during debugging or development processes, as it provides a space for experimentation and adjustments without impacting ongoing operations or other users' tasks. Since changes are made in isolation, the integrity of the shared environment is maintained, allowing the developer to test and refine their updates before deciding to promote the changes to a wider audience. This approach fosters collaboration and minimizes the risk of conflicts that could arise from simultaneous editing of shared rules.
