Hi Channing,

We have a similar issue at the Bodleian Libraries. Our approach is to have a 
repository were our published live catalogues are accessible and to then work 
on another version of the finding aid in an unpublished repository. This allows 
us to make necessary re-drafts whilst maintaining access to a published version 
of the finding aid. We then replace the outdated published version.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Drafting changes to finding aids

All,
Our institution is looking to adopt the current PUI after using one that was 
built in house for several years. Right now, our workflow for making large 
revisions to finding aids is to rely on a feature in our in-house PUI that 
allowed us to keep the original versions of finding aids published while making 
changes without said changes being published. While experimenting with the 
current PUI, we cannot seem to find such a feature, nor a plugin to provide 
similar functionality. Has anyone else run into this need? If so, what 
solutions, both administrative and technical, have you used to address it?

Any and all help is appreciated,

Channing Norton
