In the Douyin* manuscript box, if there is a re-release with an asterisk in front of the work, it means that the work has been released before. When it is released again, the words "re-release" will be added in front of the video title. This asterisk allows users to better manage their own works and avoid posting the same content repeatedly. It also makes it easier for other users to identify whether the work has been published before.

From a user perspective, the meaning of this asterisk is very important. When using Douyin to create and share content, most users will save the created videos to their draft box for editing and trimming. And when they plan to republish, they can select the work directly from the manuscript box and click the "Republish" button, and the system will automatically add a star and display it on the homepage. In this way, other users will know whether the work has been published before, and can understand the popularity and influence of the work through data such as the number of views and comments.

The asterisk also has a certain aesthetic effect. Adding the words "Publish one more" in front of the video title not only attracts the user's attention, but also makes the entire page look clearer. This is also the effort made by the Douyin platform to ensure content quality and user experience.

Using *draft boxes on Douyin and marking videos as "Repost" is a great way to manage your work and attract more users to watch it. This asterisk has a positive impact on protecting content copyright, improving user experience, and promoting platform development, so it deserves more attention and use by users.
