mattV-7	We have a multi-language site. The main site is English/US and we have two other subdomains that are English for Australia and Europe. When we make a change to the English page and publish it, it automatically publishes the respective pages of the AUS and Europe subdomains. This creates an issue, as some of those subdomain pages are in draft mode and not ready to be published. How do I keep the other English subdomains from publishing when I make changes to the English site?

Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi there Can you please review the settings at WPML > Settings, those shown in the screenshot. The default setting synchronises the post status so that when you publish the original the status of the translations updates to published, too. You can change the setting to prevent that.

mattV-7	Thank you Nigel! I've changed these settings and believe this has resolved the issue. Much appreciated.
