In the backoffice if a document has been saved but not published a little orange star is overlayed its icon in the tree. Via the APIhow can I tell if a document is Saved vs Published?
That does not appear to be what I am looking for. That appears to indicate if there exists a published version of the document. What I am looking for is if the current doc has a saved version that is newer than the published version. That is to say I want to know if that little orange star is there or not for this doc.

Having been testing this for a few days now. doc.HasPendingChanges() is not 100% accurate. I looked at the source code for this method and it figures this by comparing the doc's version date to the update date. If they differ by more than half a second it figures there are pending changes. This is neccesarily the case. If your server's are running a little slow during publish actions those two timestamps might vary by more than that. In fact during local dev I have frequently that this be the case.
@greengiant, you could write a custom method to query the database and check I guess. Not sure of the field names etc, as I don't have the Umbraco Database in front of me, but the basic logic would be to check if the version is the most recent one by selecting the top 1 from the revisions table ordered by date desc, and compare the IDs to see if they're the same?
How to distinguish between published / saved

Hi,
You can use the Published property on the Document object.
Document doc = new Document(id of the document);
bool published = doc.Published
Hope the helps you,

Possibly doc.HasPendingChanges(); might be what you want?

Thank you. That appears to do the trick.

Nice example of how Umbraco is constantly being refactored due to the needs of the users.
