Drafts versus published content
WordPress enables editors to change the published state of content.
This includes the following options:
- Published: Content accessible to the public
- Password protected: Content only accessible to someone with a password (does not need to be an editor)
- Draft: Content only accessible to other VCUarts website editors
- Publish in the future: Content will become publicly available at a specified date and time
- Public preview: A temporary link to content in draft status than can be accessed by anyone with the link. The link will expire after 48 hours.
More information and a demo about the differences between these states is available in the tutorial video below.
