Feature Request: Extra status text in Revisions sidebar block #1201

Open steveparks opened 3 months ago

I've just discovered the Revisions functionality and it's fantastic.

The text descriptions of the status of revisions in the sidebar are particularly helpful.

I'd like to make a request for one more context in which some extra status text could be shown in this box.

When a user saves the working copy, it's not immediately apparent to the ignorant novice user (me) that the changes aren't now live. The publish button is also displayed next to the save button, but the Revisions help text says "{tick} Entry has a published version".

I think it'd be really helpful to have additional items in the revisions status list in this context that say something like.

{tick} Working copy saved {cross} This is not the published version

These are written based on being the opposite of other messages that get displayed in this sidebar area in different contexts.
