Creating a draft

Goal: Save a working copy of an asset that cannot be published

Drafts should be used for edits in progress — in cases where you need to make extensive revisions to a page that cannot be completed in one sitting.

Save as Draft allows for the following functionality:

  • Multiple users may save drafts of a single asset, but only the user who saved the draft has access to it.
  • View drafts just as you would a working copy in the editing interface.
  • Your active drafts will appear on your Dashboard. Look for the My Content box, then click on Drafts.
  • Edits/changes are not reflected in the current version of the asset; edits/changes to the draft cannot be published until they are Submitted.
  • Submission of final changes works as usual.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the page you would like to work on.
