Left over from a previous issue but still relevant.

2. Change state from live to *.
It is today possible to transition between states from any state to live but I have not been able to find any way to actually perform the transition from a revision which is live. Is it possible to do this? If not; perhaps it would be a good feature in order to get a more user friendly experience?

Yet, if a revision is live -its live. There should be no way to remove it, thats the idea behind it. If you need to correct it, edit and set live a new revision.

A live version is valid until it is replaced by a new live revision.

Nevertheless it could be optinally to "draft" some document and "undraft" it.

I was thinking this way for a bit also. Then the boss pointed out that there needs to be some way of unpublishing for legal reasons. Just because content is live is no reason that it shouldn't be possible for the site owner to change their mind.

I got around this by using the override_node_options module to expose the published checkbox to selected roles and setting up a Rule that changed moderation to none on unpublish.

While this is a work around I still think this functionality should be part of the module as it goes outside of the usual workflow to achieve this. You call though.

Well iam fining taking this one in, but actually it should be not possible by default - rather an option to allow it. It should also not bloat the code to much. How does your implementation look like?

Thanks for all your effort!
