published files

[Jimmy Hartford]

What is the actual difference between a standard .arr file and a shareable published file?

And can I create a published file directly without have a base file behind it?

Joe Politz can answer in more detail than I can, but the short answer is, "Google Drive permissions".  The original and the shared file are both simply files, but the original file is writable and readable only by you, while the shared file is readable by everyone.  Moreover, the action of publishing a file in CPO establishes a link between the two files, such that "republishing" the original file will update the shared file.  Once the shared file has been created, you can move it around in your Drive folders however you want (though we generally recommend leaving it in the folder that CPO created for you!), as the association between the original and shared files depends on their file ids, not on their folder locations.
