Entities: Draft vs Publish/Delete vs Restore
Here's a clear breakdown of Draft vs. Publish and Delete vs. Restore in data entries:
Draft vs. Publish
- Draft: A saved but unpublished version of a data entry. It allows for ongoing edits without making the entry available for further processing.
- Publish: Finalizes and makes the data entry official, visible, or active in the system. Published entries are typically locked or have limited editing options.
Delete vs. Restore
- Delete: Removes an entry from active use, often sending it to an archive or "hiding it, rather than permanently erasing it.
- Restore: Recovers a deleted entry, bringing it back to active use. This is useful if a deletion was accidental or the entry needs to be reused.
