Default post status for entries (Movable Type Documentation)

Default post status for entries

Export files produced by Movable Type always specify the status (Published or Unpublished) for each entry contained in the file. If the file you are importing was created using Movable Type's Export feature, this setting does nothing and can be ignored.

However, if your import file came from a blogging system that does not specify the entry status, you can set this option to direct Movable Type to use its value as the status for the imported entries.

If you leave this value blank and the import file you are using does not contain the status of the entries, Movable Type will fall back to the value of the default entry status option found in the weblog's New Entry Defaults settings screen.
