 Scenario: If you have a live published page and need to make some changes
 to it but those changes shouldn't be visible until a certain time.

 **Steps**
 1. Edit a published post
 2. Change the publish date to future date and click update

 Result: The post is now unpublished! (404 error)

 Expected: New changes I made to update/appear on the scheduled date
 without taking down the page with a 404 error in the meantime.

 Solution: Draft a revision of a published post without un-publishing it?

 There is discussion about it here from a while ago, but none of the
 solutions or plugins are good:

 This seems like a common workflow?
