Web sites often need the capability to "assemble, test and review new versions of a website before it goes into production".
- Wikipedia - Staging (websites)
Users need the ability to work on a working copy of the website and implement whatever content changes meet new requirements as those requirements change over time. The ability to manipulate this working copy and preview it as if it were the actual site is extremely important because viewing changes in the greater context of the site helps in finding all manner of discrepancies as well as helping to ensure continuity of design. As such, Users with access to Staging should be able to preview a working copy at any time without disrupting the live pages. As well, Users tasked with evaluating the content changes need to be able to view and navigate the site with the least amount of complexity possible.
