Any way to change post/page status when editing page?

When editing a page, click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner to ensure the sidebar displays.

There should be two tabs: Document and Block. Make sure Document is selected.

There is an accordion item called Status & visibility, among Permalink, Discussion, and Page Attributes.

If you click on Status & visibility to expand it, there is a Visibility item in there.

Clicking on the current visibility reveals radio buttons to select Public, Private, or Password Protected.

To change a page from publish to draft, take a look at the top right, to the left of the Update button. There is a link that says Switch to draft.

Once it’s back in draft, under Status & visibility, there is now a checkbox above the Move to trash link that says Pending review, and if you check that, at the top you can now Save as pending.
