The site where I am responsible for the content of some pages has installed Drupal, version 4.4.2. I am working on a "book" with a three-level hierarchy, i.e. 1. Title page, 2. Chapters, 3. Sections. My problem: Until the book is finished, I would like to keep it "unpublished", i.e. accessible only by registered users. However, if I uncheck the "published" attribute on any page, this page is removed from the book hierarchy; it can no longer be selected as a "parent", and the link to that page disappears from its parent. How can I "unpublish" a book without destroying the hierarchy?

This is still true in 4.6. I would also really like to have this functionality. It would also be nice that if i published a top node bookpage it's children would be published also.

You can have a page be visible only to authenticated users by checking the "authenticated users" and unchecking "anonymous users" in the "View Permissions" form when you edit the page.

This will prevent the page from being viewed by anonymous visitors, until you are ready to make it public.

Hope this helps -- Djun
