Private Draft

Is there a way to enable private drafts on existing SharePoint pages?  We are using SharePoint as our intranet site and pages get updated all the time.  It would be nice to share the draft to others for approval or review before republishing any changes to existing SharePoint pages.

I only see 'private draft' option when creating new SharePoint pages.

  • Tamras1972 Maybe you can try using Content Approval settings for site pages library for creating a new version of existing site page and send it for approval and publishing: 

    These settings can be found at library settings > versioning settings.

     

    DocumentationRequire approval of items in a list or library

        ganeshsanap I've used one of your PowerShell scripts before.  Thank you!  Is there a way to convert an existing site (saved as draft) into private draft in PowerShell?

        I'm reading through this page but my experience with PowerShell is very minimal.
