@gazumped @Mike P Appreciate your time / input. I use MacBook + iPhone & have very rarely used the web version of EN - always use the app on both devices. I think the bottom line is that Google can't use the EN internal link. Only options are that "Publish to Web" gig OR that upper RH "3 dots" dropdown -> "Copy internal link" dropdown -> "Copy Web link" & use the online version of EN.
There used to be an option under the "Share" button to copy a link. That's gone, but may have constituted "Publish to Web". Not sure, but I don't like what that phrase implies! Maybe it's just unclear...
