Why are Shopify products going live immediately instead of staying draft?

See why Shopify products can go live right away instead of landing in draft first.

Shopify products go live immediately when Default listing status is not set to Draft, the setting was not saved, or specific products have per-item status overrides. If you want a draft-first review flow, set Shopify's default listing status to Draft in Review Shopify listings before they go live, save the change, and then check whether the affected items were pushed with their own status override.
