As you may or may not know, there is a draft feature:
Unless I’m missing something, there’s no way to save it. Clicking the trash can would just delete the post.
description is a joke
I think there should be a save or save to drafts button next to the trash can icon! What do you think?
As far as I know, the drafts feature isn’t meant to be similar to email drafts. This is more of an auto save feature if the website or Discourse App or Browser crashes or if you accidentally close the tab while creating a post.
Vanilla Discourse doesn’t have a way to save drafts directly, for mobile you have to forcefully close the app/browser/tab after the draft saves and for desktop, I think you just have to press the escape key.
This seems like a feature for overall Discourse, so this has to be suggested on Meta since our community won’t directly benefit from this.
might create another how to guide for posting forum features
That doesn’t work. You have to refresh the page completely to dismiss the draft (ctrl+R). Refreshing seems to work on mobile too.
