Just like with email, you can save your post as a draft and publish it at a later date. This is especially helpful when you’re in the middle of a post and get pulled away or you’re just missing that final piece of information before posting. Saving your post as a draft is easy to do and you can come back to it at any point in the future.
1. Choose your post type and fill in your post title and description.
2. When you get to the point where you need to save your post as a draft, locate the clock icon in the lower navigation of your create post screen.
3. Tap the clock and select the Save as Draft blue button. You will see a green banner fly up from the bottom of your screen confirming your draft has been saved.
Once saved, and you’re ready to return to the draft of your post to continue working on it or publish it, you can do this in two different places:
Drafts Location #1 – From your group’s home screen, tap the blue pencil icon post button at the top of the screen. In the dropdown, after the different post types, you will see your saved Drafts at the bottom of the list. Select Drafts to access your list of drafts.
Drafts Location #2 – The other way to access your drafts is by backing out to your group list screen and tapping the profile icon at the top right. There you can select Drafts from your Account settings to open your list of drafts.
Deleting your draft is also easy to do. From your list of drafts screen, tap the pencil icon to take you into edit mode. Next tap on the red trash can to delete your draft. A modal will pop up confirming you want to delete your draft. If so, select the red Yes button.
The final important thing to note is that if you go into a draft, add more content, and then Save as Draft again, your newest draft will overwrite the original draft post. It will not keep saving earlier versions of your drafts. This streamlines the process, but you should be aware.
