How Drafts work​

Drafts remain private and won’t be visible to team members until you move them to project work items.
As soon as you start writing a work item, Plane auto-saves it for you. Should you stop midway or click away to a notification, all your work items, and soon, comments, are available in Drafts accessible from the sidebar. Find your draft from the preview text, edit it, delete it, or move the draft to a project when you’re ready.
