Working with Drafts

Save, manage, and refine draft posts before scheduling or publishing them.

Working with Drafts

Not every post is ready to schedule right away. Drafts let you save work in progress and come back to it later — whether you’re waiting for approval, refining your caption, or just collecting ideas.

Saving a Draft

In the composer, instead of scheduling or publishing, click Save as Draft. Your post — including the caption, media, selected platforms, and any other settings — is saved without entering the publish queue. You can close the composer and return to it whenever you’re ready.

The Drafts Page

Navigate to the Drafts page to see all your saved drafts. Each draft card shows:

  • A preview of the caption text
  • The creation date
  • Attached media thumbnails (if any)

Drafts are listed in reverse chronological order, so your most recent work appears first.

Editing a Draft

Click any draft on the Drafts page to open it in the composer. The page title changes to “Edit Draft”, and you’ll see a Save as Draft button to save your changes, along with Cancel to discard them.

From here, you can refine the caption, swap media, change platforms, or do anything you’d do with a new post. When the draft is ready, schedule it or publish it directly from the composer.

AI-Powered Draft Refinement

Need to improve a draft without opening the full composer? The Drafts page includes an AI refinement feature. For any draft in the list, you can:

  1. Enter instructions describing what you’d like to change (e.g., “Make this more casual” or “Add a call to action”).
  2. Optionally enable web search so the AI can pull in current information relevant to your topic.
  3. Let the AI generate an updated version of your caption.

This is a quick way to iterate on ideas without context-switching into the full composer every time.

Tips for Using Drafts

  • Save early and often — if you’re brainstorming, save each idea as a draft so you don’t lose it.
  • Use AI refinement to quickly polish rough ideas into publish-ready captions.
  • Batch your drafts — create multiple drafts during a planning session, then schedule them all at once during a dedicated scheduling block.
