    I have existing pages/posts, what I want to do is EDIT one of these pages or posts and save it as a draft before publishing to have it reviewed. When I do this, the page is removed from the site while it is saved as a draft, is this supposed to happen? Shouldn’t the page stay live and just a copy is saved as a draft?

    No, if you want to make a copy of it, then make a copy of it and paste it into a new post.

    When you edit a live post, then you’re changing that post. If you make it not published anymore, then yes, it will disappear from the site. You’re not making a copy of it, you’re not editing a copy of it, you’re editing the live post itself.

    Ahh that sucks, I thought there was some type of simple versioning for editing, after all, thats how publishing systems are. Sounds like a good idea for a simple plugin.

    Thanks Otto
