Just adding that there's an additional grey button that says "Apply Draft" if you're inside a draft version of an existing entry. 

The Red "Create Entry" is just when its an unpublished first draft.

An unpublished draft will show a button `Create entry` at the upper right, this will create a published entry from the draft:

If you're not seeing this button, you probably don't have the required permission. You need the `Save entries` permissions for the section that your entry belongs to in order to publish drafts.
