Description
Scenario: If you have a live published page and need to make some changes to it but those changes shouldn't be visible until a certain time.
Steps
- Edit a published post
- Change the publish date to future date and click update
Result: The post is now unpublished! (404 error)
Expected: New changes I made to update/appear on the scheduled date without taking down the page with a 404 error in the meantime.
Solution: Draft a revision of a published post without un-publishing it?
There is discussion about it here from a while ago, but none of the solutions or plugins are good:

This seems like a common workflow?

Thanks, I have not tried that plugin but it does look to provide a solution to the workflow issue, specifically revising live published content without taking it offline.
It also seems to add extra options that I wasn't really looking for, just wanted something simple and to the point, will investigate it some more.

This is how the proper plugin should function, all other plugins I tested are complicated and don't merge with the UI well.

I wonder if you can help me figure out why I can't get the Revisions Extended plugin to work. (I realize you're not support staff, but I can't find much info online.) I did Download ZIP from the green Code button. Then I unzipped the revisions-extended-trunk.zip file and found the revisions-extended folder within the unzipped folder. I zipped and uploaded the revisions-extended folder to my site plugins, and activated the plugin. All looked good so far, but I don't see any evidence that the plugin is working. I thought I was supposed to see a dropdown menu on the Update button in the upper right, but the Update button just looks like it did before (no down arrow) even after I make changes to the page content. Any clue what I could be doing wrong?
