Can we allow certain users to be able to view Draft news pages
we have a classic online team site, and users are using the modern pages. now when users create a new modern page, they have the option to save it as draft, as follow:- where the draft page...
I'm surprised you can't do this either. Just hit a similar problem. I'm working up a new draft of an existing page that I want somebody else to see before I publish it. Doesn't appear to be possible. When the other user opens the page, they see the old page and a message saying that I'm editing it: https://i.imgur.com/fQEUI6k.png
It would be neat if there was an option here to "View draft" for certain nominated people? Guess one for uservoice.
I'm going to either have to copy the page to a new page and publish it (and run the risk of a normal user finding it via search) or print as PDF and share that, asking for mark-up changes.
The user I'm about to share with might say "Can we put this in Word" and I'm *trying* to discourage the writing of help articles in Word documents which nobody can ever find! 🙂

rob_nicholson_helios considering the claims Msft makes about compliance and governance it's shocking that this obvious requirement has been missed. Even if you explicitly share a draft item with a user, they can't access it until it's published. The only option is to allow your reviewers to edit a post or publish a post before it's been reviewed, both of which go against all accepted publishing industry standards,.
