Drafts and publishing

A draft is a line you have written for a page but not sent yet. It lives on your own page, it is private to you, and it is addressed to where it is going.

Why drafts exist

Because “I want to raise this with Dana” and “Dana can see that I want to raise this” are different moments, and the gap between them is where most of the thinking happens. You can write the awkward line now and publish it before the conversation.

Writing one

On a shared page, what you type lands immediately — everybody on it sees it as you write. If you would rather compose first, write it on your own page and address it to the other page. It shows in your list, marked for where it is bound, until you publish.

Publishing

Press publish and the line moves to the page it was addressed to. Everybody there sees it from that moment. There is no unsend: a published line is a line, and you edit or delete it like any other.

A draft is a place, not a flag

This matters more than it sounds. A draft is private because of where it is, not because it carries a setting saying so. That means there is only ever one question to ask about who can see a line — which page is it on — instead of two questions that could disagree.
