Which layer, who sees it?

No. The "Data" tab in the builder edits records directly: add, change, upload a photo, delete. No model runs, no credits spent. A prompt is only needed to change the STRUCTURE.
Yes. Data lives in the hosted database, not the browser: everyone who opens the link sees the same live data.
Key takeaways
- Shared data is for everyone; private data belongs to one member.
- Owner management and member accounts are different things.
- Editing content costs no credits.
