Description
In Gutenberg, the pre-publish panel (PluginPrePublishPanel):
Is not displayed (with the panels) for users without publishing capability ('contributor' role etc). So these users see:
It was initially there, but because some unwanted panels were displayed for contributors (see #6729), they somehow decided to entirely remove the pre-publish screen for contributors. Probably by mistake, making this essentially a bug. If not, a major design error, because contributors need tips the most.
I opened a GitHub thread, see #16198. A user suggested PluginPreReviewPanel as an alternative approach.
Contributor users are the ones who need publishing suggestions the most, as they are submitting a post for review, meaning, they are least familiar with the publishing guidelines of the site.
A great example of how the PluginPrePublishPanel can be used for contributors.
Can we fix this bug and have (PluginPrePublishPanel) enabled for contributor users?
