This video covers everything you need to know:
- Saving multiple drafts in AuthoredUp
- Opening existing drafts to continue working on them
- Managing drafts - check and change draft status, access draft details, rename, duplicate, or delete drafts
- Downloading drafts in the CSV file
When you open the AuthoredUp editor, either by clicking Start a post or the green AuthoredUp badge on the right side, you can save a new draft or open an existing one.
Keep in mind that the editor displays an Unsaved draft status when your changes have not yet been saved. If you close AuthoredUp before saving, we cannot guarantee that your content will be preserved. To avoid losing your work, click Save as new draft as soon as you start writing.
After you save your draft, AuthoredUp will:
- Assign a name to the draft (1). You can change it.
- Save your changes automatically as you write, indicated by the cloud icon with a checkmark (2).
- Continue saving any further changes to the draft automatically.
You can click Close draft (3) at any time to close the current draft and start a new one.
Here, you can also assign an actor to the draft (4) and use the toolbar to set a publishing reminder, add collaborators, change the draft status, and add tags (5).
If you click on the hamburger menu, you will get more options:
- To open draft details on the AuthoredUp platform (there, you can see changes in your drafts/snapshots).
- To save the content as a new draft (if you made some changes and want to make modifications).
- To delete the draft.
To change the title of the draft, just click on its name.
AuthoredUp drafts fully support mentions of personal profiles and company pages. To use mentions in drafts, you first need to "collect" them in the blue mode of the extension by simply mentioning the relevant people or company pages. Once collected, these mentions will also be available in the green mode and on the AuthoredUp platform.
All other AuthoredUp features, including bold, italic, and code formatting, as well as adding emojis, work seamlessly in drafts.
You can save drafts containing text, images or documents right now, but we are working on adding more post types.
Where can you find your AuthoredUp drafts?
You can see all your drafts on the Chrome extension and the AuthoredUp platform.
Find them in the menu below the AuthoredUp editor.
When you open the draft, you will see a screen with the whole draft.
You can see its text, open the draft in editor, duplicate it or delete it.
On the right side, you can see snapshots (history) of all versions of drafts we saved during your work.
