On the d7 version, content types had to be enabled either at /admin/config/content/publishcontent or on the publishing options on /admin/structure/types/manage/[content-type] before they would work with this module.

I don't see any either of those user interfaces on the d8 version. Do content types still need to be enabled to work with this module and if so, how? I do see the permissions provided by this module, but they don't seem to have any affect.

Hi,
During the port to Drupal 8, some features may have been dropped to have a working version faster. So indeed, there is no configuration option any more (apart from the permissions). Can you achieve what you want using the permissions?
Otherwise, the issue type will be changed to "Feature request", and we'll hope someone will tackle the task ;-)

Ok, I thought that might be the case. And I did figure out what was going on in my site. I was momentarily confused because the publish/unpublish options don't appear along with the save and delete option at the bottom of a node form as they do if you have the "administer content" permissions. It's only available via the tab along with the other local tasks (view, edit, etc). So yeah, I guess this would be a feature request.

Ultimately, I'd really like the ability grant a role the "administer content" permission but remove their publish access for a specific content type. I'm not sure if that's in the purview of this module, though.

Thanks for your work on this, I appreciate it.

I just installed this module and granted the permissions Publish editable content and Unpublish editable content to the user role, yet I do not get the Publish/Unpublish tab on editable pages. However, if I grant the permissions Publish and Unpublish any content, the tab appears. This doesn't seem right. I don't want the user to be able to publish/unpublish any content, only content they can edit. Am I missing something?

@Bill Redman: you are referring to another issue regarding the permissions: https://www.drupal.org/node/2843403

Just so I am clear...

- The D8 version of this module can add Publish tab to a Node.

- But the permissions to limit a Role to publish/unpublish a single Content Type does not exist in the D8 version?

If a user must get the default Drupal "Administer Content" for it to work this module has no use other than adding tabs for something the user already has access to in the right column?

I don't mean to be a jerk, I just want to make sure I understand the use-case limitations of the D8 version of the module.
