This can be checked by going to a newly published page that was under Change Request, clicking the dropdown on the "Edit" menu and select "Object". For example, on this page: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/edit/Doc/XS/Extensions/XWikiStandardFlavor/User/EditPage/EditSection/SectionEditingLimitations/WebHome?editor=object
