Publish

I most likely will be the only user of my new app and I am using the free version. I have several related questions.

Is it compulsory for a finished app to be published?

What is the benefit of publishing?

Do I need my own website to publish it to?

Does publishing an app protect the integrity of the app and prevent inadvertently editing a form, report or page, whilst obviously allowing changes to be made to the data?

Thanks
