Re: Versioning and approving pages

Versioning is not working as expected. I don't get to choice between publishing drafts or main versions.
And approval is difficult when it's a Group in regards of permissions. I turned on approval of content and there is no change at all.

And once we turn on drafts on document library the synced library gave a message on local OneDrive client that a document library that I had synced was no longer write protected.

What is going on?

  • Check the settings on both Site Pages and your Document Library. This sounds like something is not set up correctly - but doesn't sound like something that can be resolved without looking at what you are doing.

      Thing is, working on a page when versioning is turned on you don't get an response to publish to a full version anywhere. You have to and find it in the Site Pages and manually from there approve it. 

       

      Being a superuser and editor is hard stuff these days in SharePoint. A standard view should be added for all document libraries/lists which versioning is turned on so we can see which pages are candidates for publishing and approval. And why not toss in a view for pages that are locked by other users. Or a [Me] view in SharePoing start page where I can see pages I have locked for other users. 

       

      I get all the new wonderful things but it's hard being an evangelist when the basic needs of managing intranet sites are just not met.
