Introducing Drafts

April 28, 2020

Have you ever wanted to reuse your old posts? Or create an incomplete post and go back to it later? You can now do all these things using Publer’s Superpower: Drafts!

Besides being able to (auto) schedule or post right away, you now have the option to save your posts. That’s what a draft is: a saved post.

How To Create Drafts

Creating drafts is really easy. Create your post (status update, link, photo, multi-photo post, album, video, or offer), and instead of (Auto) Scheduling, Reposting, or Publishing right away, click the Save as Draft button. Keep in mind that for drafts you don’t need to select any accounts beforehand.

The Draft, Schedule & Post immediately buttons are grouped together, so the actions you can take on a post are much cleaner and take up less space.

How To Use, Edit & Delete Drafts

In the Posts section, we added a new tab called “Drafts”. This is where you will find all your saved drafts as well as those which are saved by other members of the team you’re part of.

After you found the draft you were looking for, simply hover over it and you will see the Use Draft button on the bottom right corner. If you click it, the post creator form will be filled with the info from your draft. You can then select the Social Accounts where you want to post to (if you haven’t already done so) and (auto) schedule or publish your “new” post. You can always make any last changes before scheduling / posting it.

Your draft will still be saved even after you use it. To delete or even edit a saved draft, hover over it and you will see two small icons on the top right corner. The first one is for editing the draft and the second one is for deleting it as shown below.

It is also possible to save drafts in bulk!
