Overview: Published vs. Draft Articles

• Published articles are visible to all users in the published view.
• Draft articles are only visible to administrators in the admin view.

Key Terms

Published Article: An article that is finalized and made available to the intended audience.
Draft Article: An article that is still being worked on and not yet visible to the public or general users.

• Drafts allow for editing and review before publication.
• Only administrators or editors can see draft articles.

Why It Matters

Knowing the difference between published and draft articles helps ensure that only completed and approved content is visible to your audience, while work-in-progress remains private until ready.

• Prevents incomplete or inaccurate information from being shared.
• Supports content review and approval processes.
