Publishing Workflow

Managing the lifecycle of your content from draft to archive.

Content Status

You can control the visibility of your page using the status field in the frontmatter.

Status	Description
`draft`	Only visible to you (Admin) and CoreTeam. Good for work-in-progress.
`review`	Ready for feedback. Same visibility as draft, but signals it’s ready.
`published`	Live! Visible to everyone allowed by the `roles` field.
`archived`	Hidden from the menu, but still accessible if you have the link (Admin only).

Testing Your Content

You can preview how your content looks to different users by adding parameters to the URL in your browser.

View as Member: ?test_role=Member
View as Guest: ?test_role=Guest
See Drafts (even if not Admin): ?show_status=true

Example: http://localhost:4321/protected/member/page?test_role=Guest (Should show Access Denied)
