What are draft posts?

Draft posts are unfinished posts connected to a social account, and they can be either dated or undated.

Draft posts with a set date and time will show up in the Calendar tab. On the other hand, undated drafts will be stored in the Drafts section, where you can review, edit, and schedule them at your convenience.

To create a draft post:

Go to the Create page.



The composer box will appear after clicking the Create button, and you can start creating your draft.



After completing your draft, simply click the Draft button.
Next, specify the settings for this draft. You can choose from the time slots available (if there are any) or Manually select the time.



Once you've specified the time, click on Save.
You can also choose to toggle off Set a date and time, and simply click on Save right away.



Both drafts will appear under the Posts tab > Drafts, and the one with the specified date and time will also be visible on the Calendar.

Note: Only draft posts with a specific date and time will be displayed in the Calendar tab.

Lastly, if you accidentally close the window while scheduling a post, don't worry! Just click on the create page again, and the composer box will pop up with your unfinished post still intact.

To use a draft post:

Go to the Posts tab and filter posts by Drafts.



You can also filter it by Dated and Undated.

Note: Only drafts with any selected social accounts will appear in the Draft Posts section.



Select all the draft posts you want to use, then click Reuse at the bottom right.



The composer box will appear after clicking the Reuse option.
Make the final touches and schedule accordingly.


Alternatively, in the Calendar tab, click the dropdown menu next to the search bar and filter your posts by selecting Drafts.



Locate the post you want to use, then schedule it or publish as needed.

Keep in mind:

Labels can be assigned to a draft post to easily locate drafts.
Drafts will also show up on the Calendar View and Instagram Feed Preview if they have a specified date and time. You can use these as "notes" which can contain drafted marketing outlines, reminders about special days, or simple notes.
You can Auto-Draft posts within the Feed Preview as shown here.
Only drafts without any selected social accounts will appear in the Draft Ideas section on the homepage.
