 The way that we handle it is that we have two different servers that are running PowerDNN.com .  One of them is live, and one of them is where we make all our changes.  Once we have the development version of our website where we want it, we "clone" the website from our development server onto our live server.  This works really good for us since it allows us to do module installs and major content updates without all the headaches of managing different editor permissions.  Also, we don't have to be worried about nuking the live site.

Workflow is on the roadmap.

A workaround would be to copy the page, deny acccess to "normal" users.

Then after editing delete the original page and allow access to the edited one.

Not ideal but it works if it's for a few pages.

This works unless the page is linked to internally or externally, since creating a new page changes the tabid and hence breaks any links linking to the "old" page.

What form does the "cloning" from dev->live take - are you talking about files only, rather than DB tables? If you clone the database you'll presumably overwrite user data as well as metadata??

For PowerDNN.com, we do a complete backup and restore of the website and database since we don't ahve to worry about preserving user data.  On some of our other sites, we do an Import, then a backup and restore where we import specific "live" data from the production environment right before we do the backup.  We do this on a table-by-table basis and have written code that helps with doing the imports.
