Enable Saving as draft makes it possible to post without approval

Hi!

When the option “saving as draft” is enabled users are able to submit and publish their posts without being reviewed by saving them as draft first and then submitting them (the submit button is replaced by the update button).

In my opinion, this should obviously be considered a bug since if the “Post Status” setting set to “Pending Review” (as we do cause we need to verify each post before publishing it) it makes no sense that users can go “live” by skipping this important step simply saving the form as a draft (which is also necessary so they don’t lose their progress and continue at another time without being ready to submit).

If I may, the save as draft option should respect this setting during the creation of a new post and keep the post as pending review if it is submitted after saving as draft (likewise, the save as draft option could be changed to “Delist” or “Make post offline” when it is not a new post but the editing of an already approved/published post).

Looking fwd to your comments.

Best
