I haven't thought about that obvious fact before. The hide/unpublish function will naturally be used less. 

The use case of emergency retracting might be the most important one then – "get this page offline *now*". 

> Apart from that: Removing pages/nodes from the navigation is rather common (I just did a test on some of our installs and pages removed from the nav is around 25%).

Yes, I have also seen that happen a lot.

@Marli: I think this all means that we're not using these features so much for users to decide what and when to publish – since that is decided upon via the Publish menu where you push content from draft to live (or approval). It's more about a) quick, emergency retraction – and b) controlling what pages should not appear in navigation. How would we label that?

Best,
