On several of my projects I have needed an option to show people content on a site before publishing it. This could be for contributors to have a sneak peek at their contribution for review, managers having a look at an important page for approval before going online with it or simply people, who were relevant to show stuff before it was publicly available.
In the current Drupal world this would require registering these persons, having them log in and giving them or their roles access to see unpublished nodes.
Not really a good, secure or easy way of doing things.
On a custom CMS I did years ago, I added a link to all articles, which included a code that cleared this particular link to circumvent all the usual permissions and allow people who had this unique link to see the single article before it was published. Once the link was published, the link wopuld just take them to the normal article.
I have created a module for Drupal 7, which allows me to do the same thing on Drupal sites.
