Shared Drafts: Allow staff to collaborate on posts before publishing

Hello, I’m just starting to learn about this feature. I noticed in the discussion above that it was mentioned that even non-Shared Draft Topics also have the issue of being deleted after 180 days, and your screenshot indeed shows two options: Create New Topic / Shared Draft. Does this indicate that this issue has already been resolved? Because I didn’t see anyone explicitly mention this change in the discussion above. Or is this a behavior that has existed from the beginning: in categories where Shared Draft is enabled, all topics will be deleted after 180 days, but even in such a Draft category with a scheduled deletion rule, users are not restricted from creating only Drafts? If so, the purpose of specifically creating a non-Draft Topic that will be deleted after 180 days and will not be published to other categories seems somewhat unclear.
