Benefits

Drafts for Review: Imported items will be saved as drafts, allowing you to review and make necessary edits.
Manual Publishing: Once satisfied, manually publish your content to make it live.

Note: If you plan to show imported items in a Display, keep in mind that new Displays only show Published items by default. Draft posts will not appear in the Display until you publish them, unless you change the Display’s Item status setting to Draft or Any status. Learn more in Creating a Display.

This configuration ensures all content is vetted before going public, maintaining quality and relevance for your audience.
