If a user create a new site and just saves is without checking the site in, where’s the location?
I want to test what’s happens if a farm administrator tries to publish a site that’s not a “draft” or a published site. (got a custom “publish now”-button without having to go trough a workflow)
Since Sharepoint dot not support draft versions of sites, I think you mean List Items or documents that not have been checked in by your users.
To see those items you can use the Site Content and Structure facilities. Check this post:
