The Draft Center (Drafts)
There are three reasons posts are sent to Drafts:
- When a user is making a post and wants to save that post as a draft to finish later.
- When a post submitted for teacher feedback is returned with feedback from the teacher.
- When a teacher disapproves a post in moderation or removes a student post from a community or Main Stream.
Save a Draft: While you are writing a post, you can save your post as a draft. When you save a draft, a copy of it goes into your Drafts. The draft will stay in there until it is either edited and re-submitted or deleted.
View Drafts: To view your drafts, hover over My Stuff (backpack) in the menu bar, and then select Drafts from the drop-down list. The red counter next to Drafts shows the number of drafts currently saved there.
Posting a Draft: To post a draft, edit the draft and, when finished, click the Post button. When you post a draft or submit an item for teacher approval, it will disappear from Drafts, and you will not be able to see it or change it until your teacher responds.
Note: Teachers can view a student’s Drafts whenever they like. This is especially helpful, because not every student will reach out when he or she needs feedback or assistance.Teacher Tip: Check students’ use of class time by looking at their Drafts to see what the have accomplished today!
For more information on viewing student drafts, see the “Manage Students” section.
