[development] AB-Use revisions to replace previews

[Greg Holsclaw]

The below is actually how I had to code up the last user-submitted
content site we made. Separate buttons which execute that state change
versus the radio pick and the 'submit' button would be a good
improvement.

 

How could we help implement this change directly into workflow?

That's actually an improvement that I thought about adding to the
workflow module. 
Instead of having a radio-button allowing to set the workflow status,
having buttons for every available workflow status would be clearer
(from a user prospective, you'd expect a change of the status setting to
be reversible, whereas buttons clearly indicate an action being
performed). 

I haven't heard anything about integrating the workflow module in core
(maybe something to consider at some point?) but we could already have
this enabled for the basic core workflow.
