Versioning? Publishing workflow?

People might like to pass around a draft before publishing an article. Maybe to an editor for feedback. That’s easiest done with a Word document.

Then, when you’re ready to publish, just save the file to the right location. It’s easier than opening an CMS and copying/pasting (marginally).
