Description

While discussion the following issue...

  • #12528

... we talked about how a new version is created when a dataset is associated with a guestbook. We suspect this might not be necessary since the association in the database is at the dataset level.

Let's experiment in this area. Sizing as a 10 for investigation.

If we stop creating a new version, the SPA shouldn't try to redirect to the draft version after updating the dataset (after associating a guestbook).

We might want to suppress the banner that says "This is not the draft version." This banner might exist in the SPA.
