Hi All,

I've scanned quickly through the ticket queue, though I didn't come across mention of this issue directly so I thought i'd pose my use case here. It's very possible the way workbench is working is the correct behavior, but here are a few user stories:

User Story 1:
As a content editor I want the ability to easily view the current revision I am creating/editing from the node edit screen .
nav
There is currently a 'View Draft' button on the node/edit submenu, and it works great up until the point a piece of content is published. But as soon as a piece of content enters the published state, and you begin creating new 'drafts' , this 'view draft' button displays the current published revision. Shouldn't the behavior be to point to the current revision instead? So instead of something like node/[nid]/draft it should link to node/[nid]/revisions/[vid]/view ?

User Story 2:
As a content editor I want the ability to easily view the latest revision of the content being created from the moderation screen.
current-revision
Again - this functionality works great up until a piece of content becomes published , but as soon as a piece of content becomes published the node/[nid]/current-revision link does not work as expected . Instead of showing the current revision, it displays the published content. Shouldn't the link here be node/[nid]/revisions/[vid]/view instead of node/[nid]/current-revision ?

Looking forward to your thoughts/opinions.

zschmid - got exactly the same issues.

Thought I'd been going mad for the last couple of weeks!

Yeah we have this problem too - we need to see the new draft version of a node so that reviewers can easily check a new revision before making it live.

We're looking into why it does that here, will update you guys if I find out what it's doing...

Ah, I've figured it our problem - we're using Panels to show Nodes, and our setup is to show the "Rendered Node" of 'this' node and that pane doesn't resprect Revisions, it just shows the 'current' version of the node.

This issue covers that:

But I'm just looking to see if I can switch to using "Node Content" in our Panels instead which does respect Revisions.
