It may be a little bit confusing, but there are significant differences:
- Publish – published post that anyone can see
- Future – post scheduled to be published
- Draft – incomplete post viewable by anyone with proper user role; it doesn’t have it’s permalink assigned yet, so you can view it only as a preview
- Pending – post awaiting a user with the
publish_postscapability to publish - Private – viewable only to WordPress users at Administrator level – the permalink is assigned.
