Quite confusing… documentation doesn’t help :(

    I’m testing the plugin, but I can’t seem to understand how it actually works. The documentation also seems to be outdated. Some of the options shown in the documentation doesn’t show on my end.

    My steps:
    1 – Create NEW REVISION at the top of a published page
    2 – Make changes to the page and hit Submit Revision (I get the Revision Submitted notification).
    3 – I click the EDIT link next to “PUBLISH ON APPROVAL” so I can set the date.
    4 – Once I set the date, the top says “Unsubmitted Revision”
    5 – When I go to the Queue, I can see the revision as it shows as Submitted For Approval
    6 – If I wait for that date to come, nothing happens. If I Approve that revision it posts automatically instead of waiting for that date. No matter what I do, I can’t make it go from Submitted to Scheduled…

    Am I missing something here?
    This plugin is a bit confusing in my opinion… :/

    Hi @stevejburge

    Thank you for the links, but that’s the documentation I was talking about that’s missing something. I followed those steps, but my revisions never change from Submitted to Scheduled, no matter what I do…

    Do you think the issue could be related to me using the Classic Editor instead of the Guttenberg? I never really liked Guttenberg so I stick to the old editor.

    After a few tests I can confirm that the Classic Editor is what causes the issue. Maybe you can (or should, since other users may use the Classic Editor) check this, because when I click Approve Revision, it automatically posts it as if I hit Publish.

    When using the Guttenberg, hitting Approve Revision changes its status to Scheduled. There’s something going on there that’s creating the conflict.

    Even with Guttenberg, when I make changes to a post, the Submit Revision doesn’t always show up. In order to make everything work without issues is to make the changes, click Preview, and only then I am able to submit. Then after submitting, I click Edit, it brings me back to the page and only then I can change the date and hit Approve Revision

    Yes, we’re focused on Gutenberg for documentation and for future improvements.
