Content statuses
Work with Draft, Published, Changed, and Archived content.
Content status describes the publishing lifecycle. Review state is separate and can block publication.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | The working entry is not in published delivery. |
| Published | Published delivery matches the published version. |
| Changed | Published content exists, but the working entry has newer changes. |
| Archived | The entry is inactive but retained. |
Access
Each action also requires backend.read with matching scope. Publish requires content.publish; Set draft requires content.unpublish; archive requires content.update; permanent deletion requires content.delete.
Change an entry’s status
- In entry details, select Publish or Set draft.
- To archive, return to the Content type list, select the row, and choose Archive.
- To delete permanently, use Delete entry in the editor danger zone.
Review gates can block Publish. Active Release references can block archive or delete. After a status change, reload and check the badge before taking another action.
