Pre-Order Feature

Feature
I would like to suggest a feature that allows people to pre-order add-ons, which can then be displayed with a release date after approval. Currently, approval for an add-on requires it to be fully functional for consumers. However, for marketing purposes, it would be beneficial to allow for pre-orders. Additionally, this feature could enable creators to invite those who have pre-ordered to test the add-on in its alpha state. This would allow alpha testers to provide feedback on its functionality before the official release, aiding in marketing efforts. I believe this feature would be advantageous not only for creators but also for Gmodstore as a whole. It presents a win-win scenario, allowing creators to showcase their work before its release.

So to be clear, this is something askin to Steam's pre-release, so after being approved, the product isn't enabled, but enters a pre-release / pre-order available state?
That is a possibility, if there is a way to indicate that the product is in its alpha or beta state or whatever when submitting for approval, the product would go into the state that you mentioned when approved.
Seems useless as you can just see the addon when it comes out and post in the gmodstore discord not going to lie.
