**1. Saving Multiple Drafts**

While crafting a lengthy post, I found myself needing to create multiple entries for the purpose of linking them together. One half of my content was designed for the first post, and the rest was intended for the second post that would be linked in the first one. It was then I realised that there’s no feature to save multiple drafts without actually posting them in some category. I noticed one of the workarounds suggested is to “PM yourself” by some other member, but it doesn’t seem like the most efficient solution.

Are there plans to implement a feature that allows saving multiple drafts in the future? It would certainly streamline the process and make life much easier.

**2. Hidden Posts**

This problem is somewhat related to the issue mentioned above. Considering the absence of a multi-draft saving feature, I posted my first draft (which was only half-written) and sought to make it hidden since it was incomplete. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a feature for hiding posts either.

My temporary solution was to create a new category named “Hidden” and restrict its access to admins and mods. However, this is a rather unproductive and disorganized way to store hidden posts. Plus, it’s difficult to locate the needed post due to the disorganised state of the “Hidden” category.

It would be vastly more efficient to have a feature for hidden posts, enabling us to post directly to the appropriate category as a hidden post. Then, once we complete editing, we can make it visible.

Those are indeed significant problems that need to be addressed. Features like these should be basic offerings to ensure a more organised and efficient admin/mod experience.
