</div>

Is it not possible to show draft pages in the front end? I tried this:

```
<?php foreach ($page = $page->children()->draft() as $page): ?>
<?= $page->title() ?><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>

```

Should be

```auto
foreach ($page->drafts() as $draft) {
  // do stuff
}

```

This should return all draft children only. If you want both children and drafts, then use `childrenAndDrafts()` instead.

But the information is not correct. If you explicitly show the drafts, then everyone can see them.
