Is it possible to save blogs as drafts?

Sometimes I'd like to just get some thoughts down or get an outline of ideas, but I can only find ways to either schedule or post a blog. Is there any way to save a draft now or include that as a function on the site?

In the blog creation page, do you have these two options just above the save/publish button?

Yes I do. So can you toggle off the publish and then submit to effectively create a draft? I wasn't sure if that's what happened and didn't want to post something accidentally.

I think that is the correct course of action, yes. You might want to bump the publish time way out into the future as well. To be honest, I don't use that functionality often (what we have for the front page is quite different) so you might want to play around with it a bit to find the best workflow.

Yep, looks like that works. I added a test draft and it shows up as unpublished on my blog page, but I don't see it anywhere else. The Publish Time option goes away when that is toggled off. Thanks!
