Not ready to push publish? No problem. The Save to Draft feature allows you to develop your content securely without the need to publish right away. You can also schedule a post to be published at a specific time. 
These tools help you manage your blog more efficiently, as they allow you to polish your content over time, while also maintaining a consistent posting schedule.
Note:
We recommend that you keep your draft content on one browser tab when working on your computer. Writing across multiple tabs can lead to multiple versions of your draft and content being overwritten.

Creating a draft blog post

If you are not finished editing your blog post, save it as a draft and add the finishing touches later.

  1. Go to Blog in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Create New Post.
  3. Add the relevant content. 
  4. Click the More Actions icon  and select Save as draft.
