Twitch, there are many other reasons for needing to be able to make a highlight from a VOD that is unpublished. The biggest reason is for reasons of safety and privacy. For streamers, there is nothing worse than having something happen on the stream that causes something that you don't want shown on the stream. Whether you're in studio or out IRL the moment that happens, there is a panic to get the VOD unpublished so that these moments are not shown to viewers of the VOD. But doing so comes at great cost of people not being able to see a great VOD of other content. As an editor and a streamer, trying to savage a stream with a highlight is the best solution. But it's also very nerve-wracking that currently in order to do that, I have to quickly re-publish the VOD for a moment in order to get the highlight button available to do so, and then just as quickly un-publish it again to prevent others from being able to watch the VOD we don't want shown to the public.

**Please allow both streamers and editors to be able to click the highlight button for VODs that have been unplublished. There is no reason that this shouldn't be possible.**
