Any way to change post/page status when editing page?

    Pre-Gutenberg, in the “Status & Visibility” panel, there used to be a way to change a Post’s status from “Published” to “Draft” or “Pending Review” – is that just gone now? The only way I can see to change a Page/Post’s status now via Quick Edit on the main admin-list page.

    That’s not ideal, as often it is far easier to navigate to a Page on the front-end and use the top Admin bar to ‘Edit Page’ vs having to find the page in the backend control panel.

    I found it (thanks WPSE!). There’s now a “Switch to Draft” link to the left of the Update button. After you’re back in Draft mode, you can then see a way in the “Status & Visibility” panel to switch status to ‘Pending Review’.

    Maybe this is all very obvious to a first-time WordPress user but as one who’s been developing with WP since v2x, that was a very frustrating journey. ?? All good now though.
