What does Save to Drafts mean?
Save to drafts lets you park your automation and finish it later. It saves your work on the canvas but does not start or schedule anything.
What it does
- Saves your canvas (all Triggers, Actions, and Conditions) plus the details you enter—Name, Description, and Tags.
- Lets you come back anytime to edit nodes and settings before you run the strategy.
Where it appear
- Button location: Bottom of the canvas.
- Find drafts later: Automate → Dashboard → Drafts. Open a draft to continue, rename, or delete it.
What it doesn’t do
- Does not start a run, schedule the strategy, place orders, or reserve margin.
- Does not “publish” the automation. It’s simply a save for work-in-progress.
How to resume a draft and run it
- Open the draft from Automate → Dashboard → Drafts.
- Complete any missing inputs and click Start
