No. Only the tour's owner can publish or unpublish it, put it on Explore, host it or put it in a Vault, whatever role a collaborator has. An Admin can open the **Publish** tab and look at it, copy the embed code and download the tour, but a change to where or whether it is published is refused.

One thing comes close: with Draft Workflows on, a role with the **Publish Tab** (an Admin by default) can click **Publish changes**, which sends the saved edits to visitors of a tour that is already published. To stop that, untick **Publish Tab** for Admins under **Client Workspaces** in My Account, or invite them as an Editor. See [Draft Workflows](https://www.panoramr.com/help/draft-workflows).
