Module features and usage

With this module enabled, form to configure fields for
you content types will have a new checkbox labeled “Required
on Publish”

Check this new box instead of the normal “Required field”
checkbox to have the field only required if the content is
being published or already published

Useful for publishing workflows where you want content
creators to be able to quickly get started on content, but
ensure that fields will be filled in before publishing

Useful for fields that will optimize the content for SEO,
social sharing, search, and so on
