Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Publish workflow Choose publish workflow when the primary task is making edited material visible, live, scheduled, retired, or no longer visible in a selected destination. Saving a draft does not imply publication, and publishing cannot proceed until target, readiness, permissions, and validation requirements are resolved. WordPress supports publish, draft, future, pending, private, trash, role-based workflow, and post status as public visibility state.
