You can access unpublished versions from the "Versions" overview.
Check http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cocooninaction/20.html,
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cocooninaction/20/versions.html
and http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cocooninaction/20/version/2
* I had to edit the navigation structure to see my changes. Again,
adding document IDs/labels to this structure had to be done from
memory.
So I guess unpublished documents should also be listed when doing
"insert by query".
* Switching between the navigation structure editor and the page
editor was tedious. I understand the power of this separation, but
from a usability point of view it would be nice to make the management
of a page's location possible from the page itself.
Yes - though it's very hard to make people believe that THERE'S NO
HIERARCHY IN THE REPOSITORY when content can be inserted from a
taxonomy.
I think it's going to prove difficult for editors to make significant
structural changes due to this lack of visibility and immediate
feedback. Incidentally, despite not having publish permissions, I can
still see a checkbox saying "Publish changes immediately" when I edit
a page.
Useful feedback!
