Then you can allow other people to review the draft or just continue working on the draft. Then, when you finish your draft changes, you can publish the page and the “temporary” page disappears. It’s wonderful and I suggest this as part of every website installation. I find it extremely useful. Let me know if you find this plugin as useful as I do.
