Hi, I'm new to Easyblog and I'm not finding the information I need in the documentation or forums to get started with blogging.
1) I'm finding it difficult to understand the differences between a Draft and Revision. I read this forum thread so I understand the logic but the dashboard environment is still not intuitive.
a) Comment:: My process is to create a draft post then return to it to finalize. It's odd that there is no direct link to drafts. It can only be accessed via the 'Posts' or 'Revisions' > All / Draft Revisions filter. It's also odd that there is no mechanism to create a revision without publishing the post. Are these by design? I've just never seen drafts hidden like this.
b) Issue:: If I create a draft and then an editor user edits my draft post and only click Save for Later, then the post no longer can be found under 'Revisions' > All / Draft Revisions filter, even though it's still labeled as a draft in Composer > History. Seems like a bug.
2) In the composer, what is the difference between Save for Later, Apply, and Update Post?
a) 'Save for Later' > seems to indicate creating a Draft revision that can be continuously updated with no new revisions. Correct?
b) 'Apply' and 'Update Post' seem to do the same thing, create revision and publish/update post. Is there a difference?
c) There seems to be no way to create a revision without publishing a post. Is this true? What if editor wants to add revision but not yet publish the post?
Thanks
