Ability to Mark Drafts as Published (Manually)

If we COPY the Roundup (using Markup or HTML buttons) and Publish it on another site Manually, and we want to keep the Roundup in this system (at least until we’re sure everything copied over & we don’t need to recover the draft)… It would be nice to manually Mark it PUBLISHED (or something uniquely similar) so it signals Accurately the Status of the Roundup.
