CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

As part of the Versioning changes for 1.1, maybe "drafts" can be incorporated as well?

Take an existing page and I there are lots of changes to do, I would like to save it as a draft, instead of saving a half baked page and have it show up on the web site.

Another example, when I am planning on making big changes to many pages.  I would like to make the changes and save them as draft.  Once all the changes have been made, finally save them to be finally published.

Thanks for considering this modification

Edward

You can do it currently too - you have only to set page as inactive.

The inactive works for new pages.  That is nice.

The problem is with existing pages. 

The workaround I have is:
1. make a copy of the page and set it to inactive and save.
2. make changes to the copy. 
3. When completed, copy the contents of the inactive page to the active page.
  (This is a strange workflow for some of the inexperienced users)

or

3. When completed, make the new content page active, make the old content page inactive
    (What happens to internal cmsms links to the old page that was just inactivated, they are linked by an internal key.. aren't they?)

Thanks Again,
Edward 

Yeah, copying pages would be a very nice feature ...
