Comment:

 It is actually possible to move directly from a private post to a draft
 post, but it's not very intuitive.

  1. Click 'Edit' next to Visibility.
  2. Switch from Private to Public.
  3. An 'Edit' link will appear next to Status
  4. Switch this from Published to Draft
  5. Hit the Save Draft button

 Is this a common enough action (or a complicated enough action) that this
 process should be improved?
