Clarification on "Publish Now"

I have successfully migrated my old smugmug to the new smugmug and I think I have a basic grasp on how to set up and customize further if I need to. However, I am still a bit confused with regards to some basic concepts that appears to not work quite like I expected. I am asking for clarification here since I can not find anything about this in the (very rudimentary) help files.
What I notice is that when I go into "Customize" and make some changes, it looks like some changes take effect immediately, whereas most other changes are only visible to the public after I press "Publish Now". To me this seems to neither intuitive nor consistent.
For example:
If I edit the colors in the theme (for example the background color), this is immediately visible to all visitors, even before I press "Publish Now"
Likewise, if I change the default gallery style from the settings dialog in "Customize" this is also immediately effctive and visible to all visitors.
I would like to get some explanation of the reasoning and logic behind this, and also it would be nice to know exactly what settings that becomes effective immediately and what becomes visible only after "Publish Now".
