A published bottle is a bottle that is available for use by all users on a
system. These bottles are stored in the /Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles
folder and can be copied or deleted but not modified. A private bottle, by
contrast, is a bottle which is stored in a single user's home and can be
accessed only by that user.
Any user may run the applications in a published bottle. All files that are created or changed during use are stored in that user's home folder and do not affect other users on the system.
Per esempio, se un utente desidera installare Internet Explorer e poi renderlo disponibile all'uso ad altri membri della famiglia, lo installerà in una bottiglia privata e poi pubblicherà quella bottiglia. Poi gli altri utenti potranno usare CrossOver e lanciare Internet Explorer senza dover attivare la Gestione bottiglie o installare qualcosa.
Once a bottle has been published, it cannot be modified. In order to modify a published bottle it is necessary to make a private copy, modify it, and re-publish. Any copy of a published bottle is automatically made private.
