Create and edit draft entries


About

Draft entries in Kaltura's Video Portal offer users the convenience of generating an entry without the immediate need to upload content such as videos, audios, or images. During the creation process, users can specify the metadata of the entry, such as titles and descriptions. This is useful for creating entries in advance, or for collaborating with others on an entry.

The accounts shown herein have the theming module and the draftentry module enabled.

Create a draft entry

  1. Select Draft Entry from the +Create menu.
    The Add New Draft Entry window displays.
  2. Enter a name for the new entry (required). 
  3. Type a description, tags, and any other custom metadata fields as configured for your instance. 
  4. Click Save

Until content is uploaded, the draft entry displays a generic thumbnail or banner.
