Saving and Resuming Drafts

How drafts work: when they save automatically and how to come back to finish one.

2 min read Posts & Listings

Drafts let you start a listing now and finish later โ€” your work is saved automatically as you go.

  1. Start a new post โ€” drafts save as you type
  2. Leave the page any time
  3. Resume from the banner on your Dashboard or My Posts โ†’ Drafts

How drafts save

While you fill out the new-post wizard, your progress saves every few seconds. If you close the tab, your phone dies, or you navigate away, your draft is waiting for you when you come back.

Resuming a draft

The dashboard shows a yellow banner when you have an unfinished listing โ€” click it to jump right back in. You can also see all drafts under My Posts โ†’ Drafts.

Tap Continue Listing on the yellow dashboard banner to resume an unfinished draft.

Can I have more than one draft?

Yes. Each new-post session is its own draft. You will see all of them on the Drafts tab.

When drafts disappear

Drafts are kept indefinitely, but unfinished ones may be removed after several weeks of inactivity. If you want to keep something long-term, finish posting it.
