Okay so this is what I need:
(1) Editor role can edit content on EXISTING pages. It is saved, but NOT published.
(2) Admin role receives an email that lets them know edits were made to a page.
(3) Admin can login, go to that page, view the changes.
(4) At that time, the Admin can either make more changes or just go ahead and publish this edited saved version.
So two modules, based on their description seem to be perfect for this (other than sending the email, which is a plus and not a must have right away):
(1) Revision Moderation http://drupal.org/project/revision_moderation
(2) Save As Draft http://drupal.org/project/save_as_draft
I've tried both of these modules and both are giving me the same problem (which makes me think the problem is me and not the modules). When I login as editor (no 'administer nodes' rights) and make a change to an existing page, that change is published to the live site for all to see. Although the prompts say "Revision submitted for moderation" or "Submitted as Draft", the change itself is still published. And I have no idea why. Both modules explicitly say that the edits will not be pushed live until further action is taken.
So basically, I'm looking for help to figure what I'm doing wrong inside Drupal. I'm guessing there is some parameter, some checkbox, some rule, some whatever that is causing both of these modules to perform the same incorrect behavior.
Again, I don't know if this is the appropriate forum for this, but I am happy to pay a consulting fee for someone that can solve this for me. I appreciate the community feel of this space and I don't mean to commercialize it with a "job posting", but I would like to reward a Drupal expert for their efforts.
Thanks,
Neil

did you uncheck "published"
did you uncheck "published" on the content type edit form (which sets the default to published)?

That seemed to work! Thanks
That seemed to work! Thanks for the advice. The wierd thing is that it seems like the editor role's edits get published right away (without moderation) and the admin role's edits need to be approved first. This is the opposite of what we want.
The main thing is that I'm seeing what I think is the appropriate functionality...just gotta figure out the mixup. Any ideas?
Unfortunately the fix has
Unfortunately the fix has reverted and now the same thing is happening (editor's changes are published right away and not put into moderation). Anyone know what's going on?
