Instagram Rolls Out ‘Drafts’ Feature, Enabling Users To Bank Unpublished Posts

Instagram has rolled out a small but mighty update that aims to make posting to the social platform more seamless for creators. A new ‘Drafts’ feature, which enables users to save their creations before posting, is now available to everyone, Mashable reports. Instagram initially began testing the feature last month.

In order to save a draft, users can hit the back arrow after making edits — whereupon they will be able to select a ‘Save Draft’ option. Saved drafts will appear within users’ libraries above photos they’ve already posted, according to Mashable. There is also a new ‘Manage’ button within drafts that will enable users to delete drafts they no longer wish to work on.

In addition to enabling users to more easily experiment with different edits, the update will also let creators bank several posts at a time.

Drafts arrives amid several other updates to Instagram. Last month, the company launched a new video-curating feature within its Explore tab, for instance, that enables users to discover content based on different events — like concerts — happening around the world. The company is also currently piloting new features that will let users moderate their comments sections in order to stave off harassment.
