Stuck with just Draft/Published/Scheduled? Register custom post statuses for better editorial workflow.

Register Status:

register_post_status('in_review', array(
    'label' => 'In Review',
    'public' => false,
    'show_in_admin_all_list' => true,
    'show_in_admin_status_list' => true
));

Add to Quick Edit:

add_filter('display_post_states', function($states, $post) {
    if (get_post_status($post->ID) == 'in_review') {
        $states[] = 'In Review';
    }
    return $states;
}, 10, 2);

Perfect for multi-author blogs: Draft → In Review → Approved → Published workflow!
