# Sub-Editor role?

 * Hello!
 * I’m trying to create a role that can STAGE edits but requires an Admin/Editor
   to publish the edits.
 * So the role needs to be higher than a Contributor, because they need to be able
   to edit other’s and already published content, but there needs to be a checkpoint
   just before the changes get deployed.
 * I started with the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin but couldn’t get what I
   needed, and now I’m looking at the Press Permit Core plugin but it’s a little
   confusing.
 * Any help is appreciated, thanks!

 * To accomplish this, you have to use a different plugin which substantially modifies
   the editing process to enable moderated editing of published content. One example
   is my Revisionary plugin. FYI, due to lack of an API, I do not support moderated
   revisioning of featured image, custom fields or plugin-defined metadata with 
   any public plugin release.

 * Thanks for the response [@kevinb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinb/)—
   really appreciated. I was looking at your other plugin Revisionary but was a 
   little wary since it no longer seems supported.
 * However I did end up using it with another plugin, User Role Editor, and was 
   able to create a modified Contributor role.
 * Thanks again!
