I recently enrolled my on prem 14.2 SEPM to the Cloud Portal and I'm having difficulty finding documentation on the interpretation of the Policy>Policy Status column.  Every policy shows a status of "Draft".  When I click on the eliptical for policy options I see the following choices: Apply, Duplicate, Remove, Delete and Publish.  First, can anyone tell me what the "Draft" status means?  Also what is the difference between "apply policy" and "publish policy"?

Applying a policy will update the devices in the assigned device group with the new policy. Publishing a policy changes the policy status from draft to published. The policy status (published vs. draft) does not affect how the policy behaves. See https://help.symantec.com/cs/SAEP/SAEP/v121031619_v123284638/Changing-the-status-of-a-policy?locale=EN_US

With 14.2 Cloud and SEP 15 most of the needed documentation will be in the help.  This is new with the SEP cloud products.  Just an FYI. ;)
