Save pages as drafts

<p>Sometimes you want to start working on a page, then come back to it later — without publishing it to your site in the process. Or you simply never want to publish a page at all.</p><p>Cue, drafted pages.</p><figure class="w-richtext-align-center" style="max-width: 1030px;" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center" data-rt-max-width="1030px"><div><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21c332drafted%20pages%20v2.jpg>" alt="Save your pages as drafts to keep them off your site (and out of Google’s sight)."></div><figcaption>‍Save your pages as drafts to keep them off your site (and out of Google’s sight).</figcaption></figure><h3>“Cool feature. But what is this good for?” </h3><p>Glad you asked. We built this to help out with a bunch of core workflows, including:</p><ul><li><strong>Unfinished pages.</strong> Pretty simple: if you’re not done with something, don’t publish it yet.</li><li><strong>Internal pages. </strong>Got a style guide page? An internal documentation page? Set it as a draft and it’ll only be visible in the Designer and Editor.</li><li><strong>Archived content.</strong> Got an old page that you don’t want to publish, but don’t want to get rid of? Set it as a draft.</li><li><strong>Backups.</strong> Want to keep a version of a page but hide it from view? Set it as a draft.</li></ul><h3>Does this work in the Editor?</h3><p>Yep! Now your writers, clients, and other content editors can set pages as drafts if they want to hide a specific page from public view.</p><figure class="w-richtext-align-center" style="max-width: 647px;" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center" data-rt-max-width="647px"><div><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21c260drafted%20page%20in%20editor.png>" alt="Collaborators can also set pages as drafts from the Editor."></div><figcaption>‍Collaborators can also set pages as drafts from the Editor.</figcaption></figure><h2>What about on export?</h2><p>Pages you set as drafts will still be included in your site files when you export your code — draft pages are simply not published to the web when you publish from the Designer or Editor.</p>
