We had a few pages that were created by a user, but never checked. They needed to be published, so using the global admin I checked them in and published them.

Two problems, after I published them, the live site tab still said they weren't published and we got a 'page not found error' on the actual site. I rolled back to earliest version listed and them published, then they worked. I repeated the process for the other pages and they now existed.

Secondly some of the pages had information on them, but it doesn't exist anymore. I tried to roll back to the 0.1 version but no luck.

Is this data lost? If someone else creates a page and an admin checks it in for the first time will it just be a blank page even if the user created content?
