Add a way to have "draft" product pages on the producers platform, for simulations
What
- Some producers tell us they would like to use the producers platform to test different recipes for future products, see the impact on Nutri-Score etc.
- But today the platform is for the current existing products, and new possible future products / experiments should not be exported to the public database.
Proposed solution
- 3 years ago we planned to have a separate pro platform for experiments, but maybe a simpler way would be to allow producers to mark products as "drafts", and those products would not be exported.
Part of
- #5521
I like the idea of draft products. A small workflow is really useful. This could be a "state".

This issue is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity.
Interesting idea. I've very rarely had the case and when it happens, producers make a test and delete it before exporting to the public database. But maybe it will be more useful with the Nutri-Score v2 and the new environmental display coming in 2024.
I also see it as a way for the producers to be more in control, and eventually send data they are sure about more rapidly.
