• The content authors need to be able to work one season in advance of publish dates to ensure that all changes can be completed on time.
• The content authors need a way to indicate that all the seasonal changes are ready. If the content changes are not completed, then the pages should not get published.
• The content authors need the ability to modify the current live pages without rolling back changes for a future content rollout.
