Making edits after content is published

[cassandraoid]

- Bugish...

- What is the current behavior?

If you go back and edit a content piece it goes back to draft in your editorial workflow. There's no clear indication of what happens after you hit save, one might think it's already saved and ready.

- If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

See above

- What is the expected behavior?

I'd like to see a card go to "Ready for review" after you've updated a previously published piece. More importantly, IMO, it should be different within the editorial workflow, a different color, highlight, or popping to the top - or a different column would all be helpful.'

In addition, if you're editing a piece that's already been published, but it's going back to the editorial workflow - it may be nice to have something that tells you that once you hit save.

Also, once you edit a published piece of content, it shouldn't take you back to the homepage of the content you were editing - it should take you to the editorial workflow.

For now let's just go with rerouting the user to the editorial workflow when saving a post.

Just reread this and noticed I missed some requirements. I now see three:

• Indicate previously published posts - we now have the "New" indicator, so this is taken care of.
• Move edited posts that were previously published to Waiting For Review instead of Draft.
• Indicate to the user that the edited post is now in the editorial workflow - we can do this by simply navigating there on save.

@cassandraoid let me know if this sounds right.

Routing the user to the editorial workflow on save may not be enough to communicate that the item is still waiting for review, especially if there's a large number of items in the workflow.

[erquhart]

@verythorough true. I actually think the optimal answer is the contextual save button requested under #260 and depicted in #180, so expectation is inherently set.

Here's another, simpler approach: display publishing status for entries in the collection view.
Assigning a color code to the three publishing phases will help to improve clarity here.

The more I've considered this, the more I think we shouldn't put users in the workflow after saving a post. What if the user is editing multiple posts and doesn't want to change their review status?
For those that do, #260 is the right approach. Instead, the user should always be returned to the page they were on before editing the post.

As of 1.0 we no longer automatically transition you away from the editor when you save.
