(Sorry -- I screwed up the title when I posted about this earlier...)

What's a good combination of features and settings to use to help authors of content (say pages) to link their content in to the site, or indeed to find it if it hasn't been linked?

1. Menu permissions: If we want authors to be able to link their new page in to a menu, they need to see the menu-item settings area while editing, but permissions for that seem to also give permissions to see the whole Menu Admin page, which looks a bit hazardous.

2. If an author creates a page without a menu link, then upon submitting it there's no evident way to navigate to it later, either to attach it to a menu, or to remember its URL for creating a link to it... unless an admin finds it using Administer > Content Management. Am I missing some alternate way for authors to "see all my content"?

Thanks, Graham

There's a module called track that displays all of a users posts. I chose to write a view to collect it for my authors so I could separate by published and unpublished, etc.

There are some menu modules for 5.x which appear to provide better menus permissions, but I haven't worked with those.
