You can cancel the save and publish actions by attaching to the BeforeSave and BeforePublish events.

  public class SavePublishHandler : ApplicationBase
    {
        public SavePublishHandler()
        {
            Document.BeforeSave += Document_BeforeSave;
            Document.BeforeSendToPublish += Document_BeforeSendToPublish;
        }

        private void Document_BeforeSendToPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.SendToPublishEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }

        private void Document_BeforeSave(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.SaveEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
}

Is there any new code that we can use to replace the Save and Publish button using 7.5? Thanks
