What does the publish App do in the App studio?

There is 'Publish App' option when sharing the App studio App dashboard. I tried adding our organization domain as subscriber. What does this feature do? The data that is in the dashboard is sensitive and am curious to know if this publication exposes the data to everyone.

Publish app allows you to create a public-facing version of your dashboard that can be accessed by users outside your Domo environment. It is used for creating dashboards intended for an external audiences.

When you add a domain as a subscriber, the published app is only accessible to users from that domain. This is a form of restricted sharing, meaning it won't expose the dashboard to "everyone" on the internet, but only to those with emails belonging to that specified domain.

If your dashboard contains sensitive information, you need to be cautious. Publishing an app creates a copy of the dashboard that is detached from Domo’s user-based permission system. This means that row-level security and dataset permissions configured in Domo do not apply to the published version.
