Create a professional editorial workflow using “Pending Review”

While you’re poking around the “Publish” module in the post editor, you’ll also come across the “Status” option.

You may recognize this as the “Oh wait – I didn’t mean to publish that one just yet. Quick! How can I change it back to a draft?”

Indeed, it can be used to move posts from published back into drafts.

It can also be used to coordinate a publishing program with guest contributors or additional authors. When they’re finished with a post, they can set the status to “Pending Review.” Editors can then go into the “All Pages” section of WordPress and see which stories are ready to be checked.
