in my current D7 site, we have a use case in relation to managing drafts of existing published long form articles
we use revisions to work on a draft of an article until published but we also have a use case where we want to work on an update to an article (and go through several revisions and not be published for several months) BUT still keep the previously published version live for site visitors.
once the updated draft is ready we publish that overwriting the published version that is seen by visitors.
- we don't want is to make the article go offline while we are working on the update
- and we want the existing content to be updated in place as it will be linked to from other content
in the D7 site we have set up and working. I thought this was in core but it looks like the drupal module workbench moderation provided this capability: https://www.drupal.org/project/workbench_moderation
I'll be honest i'm not 100% sure if it was that,. but we certainly don't have any custom modules
is there an equivalent module for backdrop or a way we can do this? I tried browsing through the module directory but couldn't find anything

ok looks like workbench moderation was moved to backdrop and called content moderation ... I found the github here: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/content_moderation
but i don't see it on the backdrop list of modules? i'm guessing its because its still in development?
Yep, the maintainers haven't published a release yet. You can install the module manually, but it's not sure if it works, so I'd recommend to check the issue queue before.
thanks for clarity. as i'm still in exploration mode , happy to do that and give it a try.
