Hello,

I have a suggestion but AFAIK, I might be mistaken...

Working with documents in SharePoint, you have versions and by default, the latest published version is visible for users with read-permissions. However, administrators and editors can work on drafts, that is pre-published content.

Imagine having a document in version 1.0, that version is visible for every user.
However, your editors have created a draft (1.1), that is only visible for editors. That is (under review/being updated). When the update is done, they can publish this document and everyone will be able to see the new, latest version (2.0).

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand
