drafts / preview / pre-publish
Permalink
I have a client who would like to create pages, and sub pages without current visitors to the site seeing them in progress — also they would prefer not to put the site into maintenance mode whilst doing this.
Am I missing something glaringly obvious — is this possible somehow using preview/savedraft?
I had toyed with the idea of instructing them to make new pages with "exclude from nav" checked in the page properties, but i realised that since parts of the site display page lists that these pages would display regardless...
I see that someone has added this as a bug any news on whether this is to be included in a future version?

Great, thank's Maynar, i can see this in action now, a relief to find!
It looks you can't create a preview page from the sitemap – it will show up in autonavs/pagelists on the site immediately.
And once you've published it once, you can't can't make the whole page draft-mode again (so that it does not appear in any of the autonnavs/pagelists) once you've saved draft.
In the long run i think it would be great to have a published/draft option for all pages, i think this is a would be a good option if let's say a junior at a company was compiling a whole bunch of pages which shouldn't be published in any form until a senior employee had approved...

yeah you can do this actually. You're probably seeing it in navigations because yer logged in as someone who has access to see the preview pages. if you view the site at the same time in a different browser as a public user, you shouldn't see the pages or links to them until at least one version is live.

How could I have ever of doubted this was possible?!
Great stuff — I love going through the process of thinking i've found something that's missing in C5 only to find out that its already there, implemented even better than i could have imagined. Good work.
Thanks Maynar and Franz for correcting me!

The preview option is the one you need.
In other words: yes, it's a part of concrete. And can be used at any time.
