Hi,

1. Do you have any suggested workflow on how to handle updating post status using only front-end? I want my content editors work only via front-end, they need to approve every now content being submitted by authors. How can I insert a field for changing post status in an edit form? I was trying the following suggestion: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/using-cred-to-get-current-post-status/ but it doesn't save changed status.

2. May the same form save either draft or published version of a post (two submit buttons)?

Yes, use CRED Edit Post Forms.
There, insert only the Fields the user should edit (if only the post status should change that would be only the submit button).
In the CRED Edit Form set the setting "Status of content created or edited by this form:" to your wished Post Status.

After the users submit that form the post status will change to what you set.

May the same form save either draft or published version of a post (two submit buttons)?

I rather suggest to create 2 identical forms that have different "Status of content created or edited by this form:" settings.
Then on a page link to those Forms directly - respecting the choice of the user when the user clicks on a certain link or button that leads to the correct form.
