Drafts in Pallyy are posts saved without a publish date, parked safely until you're ready to schedule them. Any post can become a draft, and a banner on every draft makes the deal clear: it won't publish until you schedule it.

## How to save a draft

Drafts are saved from the composer footer. To park a post as a draft:

1. Open a post from **[Calendar > Month](https://app.pallyy.com/dashboard/scheduling/calendar/month)**, or start one with **New**, then **Post**, then **Continue to edit**.
2. Write as much or as little as you like. Drafts don't need a finished caption or media.
3. Click the arrow next to the **Schedule** button in the footer.
4. Choose **Save as draft**. The post is saved without a publish date and shows a draft banner.
5. When it's ready to go live, open the draft, pick a date and time, and choose **Schedule** from that same dropdown.

The steps work for any post whether it's half a caption or a finished post waiting on a green light.

On the [posts list](/help/posts-list), you can bulk save posts as drafts, handy when a whole batch needs to come off the schedule at once.

## Quick drafts from the calendar

Dropping media onto the [calendar](/help/calendar) opens a quick draft, the fastest way to get an idea out of your camera roll and into your plan. The quick draft covers the essentials: caption, media, and network toggles. When you want the full [post composer](/help/post-composer) with everything in it, hit **Continue to edit** (Ctrl+Shift+C) and pick up right where you left off.

## Drafts in the approvals workflow

Drafts are also how Pallyy's [approvals](/help/approvals) handle work in progress: requesting changes on a post parks it as a draft, and approving a draft schedules it in the same step. That means nothing under revision can slip out early, and nothing approved needs a second trip to go live.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will a draft ever publish on its own?

No. A Pallyy draft won't publish until you schedule it, and every draft shows a banner reminding you of exactly that.

### What's the fastest way to start a draft?

Drop media onto the calendar. Pallyy opens a quick draft with caption, media, and network toggles, and **Continue to edit** (Ctrl+Shift+C) takes you to the full composer when you need more.

### Can I turn scheduled posts into drafts in bulk?

Yes. Select the posts on the posts list and bulk save them as drafts, so a whole batch comes off the schedule in one action.
