Creating a draft post

The ability to create a draft post has strengthened the composer significantly in a way that you can compose blog posts and save them as a draft to review, edit or publish later. 

All the draft posts you create are kept to be edited later in the Publish section under creating new posts. 

You will see a list of draft posts along with their status, members that have written them, labels and actionable items (edit, delete and move) against them. You can also shortlist these drafts w.r.t the social profiles against which they were created, specific labels or keywords.
