Something that has periodically arisen for me when building editorial workflows for clients is ‘I want to approve a draft published post written but author/editor’ as in not a draft, but a published post that can have a new revision without being live (I once even helped build such a workflow, it was really not easy, we had the concept of ‘draft published’ as a new post status where published was the ‘live version’ and 1 or more post revisions after that, where an approved person could ‘publish’ any version, past or future).

I wonder if this is being considered by the team, as collaboration over a published post / page would be really beneficial if every post published save / revision wasn’t live. Or the first version of a revision could be passed to someone else to edit / approve.
