  I had been working on a post for a couple of days. It was in “draft” form. I wanted to send it to a friend to review it. I pressed “review”, expecting it to ask me for an email address. Instead, I seem to have lost my draft. I don’t know where to find it. Is it gone??

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Peter,

  Your post was moved from the Draft status to the Pending Review status and can be found here:

  https://canadatalksisraelpalestine.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=534&action=edit

  The “Pending Review” status is meant to be used for contributor users to notify their editor/administrator user that a post is ready to be published — as contributors are allowed to create content, but not authorized to publish it.

  One a single-user blog such as yours, it doesn’t serve much purpose that Draft status wouldn’t serve.

  To change it back to a Draft, click “Edit” next to Pending Review (looks like this.) Or click Publish if it’s ready to go.

  If you’d like to share a post with a colleague for review before publishing, do not use the Pending Review status. Rather, use the Request Feedback option beneath the post editor:
