Drafts and Publishing

How drafts work

Blog posts save drafts as you edit. Drafts are stored separately from the published version.

Preview a post

• Draft preview opens the current draft version when a draft or unsaved changes exist.
• Published view opens the public blog URL for the saved live post.

Publish a post

Unpublish or discard drafts

• Unpublish removes the post from your live blog.
• Discard Draft removes draft changes and keeps the published version.

Schedule posts

Set a Publish Date to schedule a post instead of publishing immediately.

• Posts with a future publish date show as Scheduled until the selected time arrives.
• Scheduled posts are kept out of the public blog list and public post URLs until they are due.
• Publish dates can be scheduled up to one year in advance.
• When a scheduled post becomes due, Hiveality refreshes the blog list and post page so the post can appear without another manual publish.

If you change the publish date on a live or scheduled post, Hiveality updates the post status based on whether the selected time is in the future or already due.
