Comment (by folletto):

 Given that I like the linear approach that is posted above, its structure
 also inspired me an idea that can allow some more advanced future
 features. It basically uses the same interaction on the side of the
 publish button, but instead of opening a small popup takes over the entire
 sidebar. With that space, we can do many things.

 In the concept above I explored this concept a bit:

 1. Same basic functionality: Publish and Draft.
 2. Sharing link available (this is a bit simplified as it's dependent on
 save, so it's not that linear as in the mock)
 3. Preview before publishing of all the changes, with the ability to
 quickly revert them.
 4. View of the date and author of latest published changes.
 5. Link to history of past revisions.

 I'd note that this is more an exploration for ideas than a straight
 suggestion for this ticket, but since it might inspire a different
 approach and a longer term vision in another way, I think it made sense to
 be added.
