Creating Multiple Drafts For Publishing Later

Sometimes during commute, there are some things that can be put together quickly along with images, so ideally, everything can be created within discourse and save to draft. When trying to create another topic, only the previous one is shown.

Since there isn’t a draft feature (like wordpress posts) that can be used to start multiple topics (ideas + images + formatting) and prepare it for publishing, any tips and how to handle this?

You could set up a “Draft Topics” private category. Then move the topic to the public category when ready.

Moving a topic to a new category won’t generate an email/notification for users watching/tracking that category, so you would want to copy/paste the content if you want to trigger an email/notification. (I believe this is correct but you can test it.)

Another “hacky” way to do it would be to create a low-trust account (TL0), post the new topic from that account and then approve it from an admin or moderator account at a later time.

Write a private message to yourself

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will give them a try.

@riking Never thought to private message. Will I be able to then just publish as a regular post or will I need to cut and paste into a new post?

If you have replies in mind, there is a drafts section on your user profile now so they are much easier to find. You can have as many reply drafts in flight as you like.

However, if you wish to create multiple new topics, you’ll still need to send yourself private messages as @riking mentioned; at the moment, only one new topic draft is supported, still.

複数の下書きトピックのサポートを検討していますか?

さらに、スタッフ向けには、このパターンが「共有下書き」機能として正式に導入されました!

複数の下書きをプラグインでサポートできるかどうか検討した人はいますか?

いくつかの投稿の下書きを作成し、将来的に公開するようにスケジュールできる機能は、ハックに頼らずに実現できるため、非常に価値があると思います。

投稿のスケジュールを設定したい場合は、共有下書き機能をご覧ください。

それはうまくいくと思います、試してみます😀

複数の下書き機能はロードマップにありますか?これらはすべて良い回避策ですが、複数の投稿を同時に編集できる組み込みの「下書き」タブがあると非常に便利です :slight_smile:

念のためお伝えしておきますが、ユーザーがあなたが公開したカテゴリを「Watching」または「Watching First Post」に設定している場合、通知を受け取り、そのトピックへの直接リンクが表示されます。そのため、あなたが思っているほど目立たないわけではありません。
