My current workflow:

1. Create blogpost using EasyBlog from the Admin-side.
2. Under EasyBlog/Publishing Options tab, set permissions to: >Viewable by Registered Members Only
3. To preview the document, change setting from "Unpublished" to "Published"
4. EITHER close the doc and click on "Preview" from the back-end, or login from the front-end to view the blogpost.
5. Go back to back-end Admin, to make final edits or changes.
6. Preview again, logged in, then save blogpost.
7. Change permissions to Viewable by Public
8. Log out to see how the Public sees the article.
- Done

The problem is, we have many Registered Members who are able to view this draft blogpost when it is set to "published" even though it is not yet a final edited draft. So, is there another workflow you recommend to make the blogpost viewable by my Moderator role, so he can edit it, and THEN publish it?

Am I doing this WRONG?
Hello John,

What we do over here at our site is to save the blog post with the state of "unpublish". Then, copy the alias of the blog post and view it on the front end as the site admin EasyBlog allows you to view the blog post even if it is unpublished (Provided that you are an admin)

to get the alias, I need to publish it first, correct?

Hello John,

Nope, you can just copy the alias from the permalink textbox
