What are drafts and how do they work?

Save work-in-progress posts as drafts, manage them, and publish when ready.

Drafts let you save work-in-progress posts without publishing or scheduling them. This is useful when you want to prepare content in advance, get feedback, or come back to finish writing later.

How to save a draft

  1. Open the post composer by clicking Create Post
  2. Write your content and attach any media
  3. Instead of clicking "Post Now" or "Schedule", close the composer — your post is automatically saved as a draft

You can also explicitly save a draft by selecting Save as Draft from the composer options.

Managing drafts

Find all your drafts on the Posts page by filtering for "Drafts" status. From there you can:

  • Edit — Open a draft to continue editing
  • Publish — Click "Post Now" to publish immediately, or "Schedule" to set a future date
  • Delete — Remove drafts you no longer need

Important notes

  • Drafts are kept for 30 days from the last edit. After 30 days of inactivity, they're automatically deleted.
  • Drafts include all your content, media attachments, and selected accounts — everything is saved exactly as you left it.
  • There's no limit on the number of drafts you can save.
