I'm looking at creating a custom section to display content nodes waiting for approval.

Instead of redirecting the user from my custom section to the Content section, I would like to be able to edit the node within the custom section.

Is it possible to display the edit view for a node inside a custom section?

Almost certainly yes. You've presumably Googled custom sections right?

This has a demo project: http://www.nibble.be/?p=440

You should be able to unpick this to get your tree to load /umbraco/views/content/edit.html.

Thanks David. I've got the edit form rendering now.

The next issue to tackle is an authorization error when attempting to save the content node. I am getting the following error

Unauthorized access to URL: /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Content/PostSave

Below is the code for my edit.controller.js where I'm trying to use contentResourcesend.ToPublish(content, isNew, files)

angular.module("umbraco")
.controller("StagingEditController",
    function ($scope, $routeParams, $http, contentResource, notificationsService) {
        $scope.loaded = false;

        $scope.page = {};

        if ($routeParams.id === -1) {
            $scope.content = {};
            $scope.loaded = true;
        } else {
            $scope.content = {};

            contentResource.getById($routeParams.id)
                .then(function (response) {
                    $scope.content = response;
                });
        }

        $scope.preview = function(content) {
            console.log('preview', content);
        }

        $scope.save = function(content) {
            contentResource.sendToPublish(content, false, [])
                .then(function(response) {
                    console.log('sendToPublish', response);

                    notificationsService.success("Document sent for approval", "");
                }, function(err) {
                    notificationsService.success(err, "");
                });
        }
    });

Below is the code for my edit.html. Some elements are commented out while I'm attempting to put all of this together.

            </umb-editor-footer>

        </umb-editor-view>

    </form>

</umb-panel>

Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction on this.

Sorry, not my area but I note that Umbraco is passing back properties that you're not.

contentEditingHelper.contentEditorPerformSave({
        statusMessage: args.statusMessage,
        saveMethod: args.saveMethod,
        scope: $scope,
        content: $scope.content,
        action: args.action
    }).then(function (data) {
        //success            
        init($scope.content);
        syncTreeNode($scope.content, data.path);

        $scope.page.buttonGroupState = "success";

        deferred.resolve(data);
    }, function (err) {
        //error
        if (err) {
            editorState.set($scope.content);
        }

        $scope.page.buttonGroupState = "error";

        deferred.reject(err);
    });

Also it is using contentEditingHelper
