Based on the article, there should be a built-in Pending Marker. It has been made clear to me by lots of people that the article misspeaks - it should have started with "Create a Pending Marker". It didn't, therefore it looks like the functionality has been removed.
This is why I ask questions of the list. Someone will *always* know more than I do (especially as I only have about a year of Frame experience!) and correct my errors and/or answer my questions.
