Shared drafts is a feature that appears to users of Senior member or higher. A shared draft is meant for topics where two or more members want to work on drafts together before publishing them.
Creating a Shared Draft
When creating a topic, click the + on the top left of the composer, and choose Shared Draft:
Once selected, you can specify where you want the topic to be published when it’s ready.
When you are finished, click Create Shared Draft and your shared draft will be created!
Finding + Reviewing Shared Drafts
You can see a list of your shared drafts by visiting the section you chose. In the below example we are preparing a Shared draft in the Forums section.
As a bonus, you’ll also see your shared draft listed when browsing the section, above the regular topic list. This is an easy way to see what drafts are in progress:
Note that pending shared drafts will not be displayed in any ‘latest’ topic lists.
Publishing your Shared Draft
When you view your shared draft, you get a big control area at the top left-hand side that allows you to publish it:
Once you click Publish Shared Draft the following will happen:
- The topic will be published into the destination category (now is public)
- The timestamps of the topic will be changed to be the time of publishing
- Any edit history on the first post will be removed
Please try out the new feature and let us know how it works!
Why I can’t find my draft under 
Shared Drafts ?
While you are writing a post a draft is saved even if you don’t save it under Saved drafts or publish it. You can find these drafts under https://tech.forums.softwareag.com/my/activity/drafts. Our recommendation is to not rely on this functionality since you won’t be able to write another post (the started draft will show in the editor instead) and you cannot share it with others. The Shared Drafts is a more robust option to use.
