I am using the workflow tool for the original content to be submitted
through a 5 tier approval process.  This tool is effective for this use,
but once the object is changed, the changed version is viewable to the
outside world without these changes being approved first.  This defeats
the idea behind the approval process altogether.

By copying the the submitted objects on final approval to a new portal
folder (through the workflow tool and via a script in that workflow tool)
the original objects in the cmf can be changed and resubmitted, but cannot
be viewed from the outside world until the changed object is re-approved. 
When this object is re-approved, it is copied over the old one in the
remote portal folder - which is referenced by our main public web-page.

My question is this, after I have explained my cause to you ... why do you
ask?  Is there a better way that I don't know about?  Please let me know
if there is.  I always thought that a content management system such as
CMF should include this type of content management.  This is why I am
suspicious of your question. <--What am I missing?

Thanks.
