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

From the blog list, you can select multiple posts and publish them together. If one selected post is currently being edited, Hiveality leaves that post unchanged and shows the reason so you can open the editor before trying again.

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.
