About
Draft entries offer you the convenience of generating an entry without the immediate need to upload content such as videos, audios, or images.
During the creation process, you 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.
This feature requires the draftentry module to be enabled.
Create a draft entry
- From the +Create menu, select Draft Entry.
- Enter a name for the new entry (required).
- Type a description, tags, and any other custom metadata fields as configured for your instance.
- If desired, set the publishing status from the following options:
- Private (default) - Media page will be visible to the content owner only.
- Unlisted - Media page will be visible to anyone with a link to the page.

Edit a draft entry
You have many editing options for draft entries, just like with regular entries. This gives you plenty of ways to customize your draft before adding content.
- To edit the draft entry, click the three dots below the entry.
- In the drop-down menu, choose Edit.
The edit page displays.
You can now manage all aspects of the draft entry, including details, permissions, assets, and more.
