Saving Drafts - Vanilla Success
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>Accidents happen. We've all navigated away from a page while in the middle of a task or closed our browser. This is why <strong>Higher Logic Vanilla</strong> <em>automatically </em>saves your work while writing a <em>Discussion</em>, <em>Question</em>, <em>Idea</em>, or <em>Comment</em>. Your post is saved every few seconds, ensuring you never have to worry about losing any progress.</p><p><strong>📝 NOTE</strong>: If you use Vanilla's Knowledge Base feature, articles are also automatically saved.</p><p><strong>📝 NOTE</strong>: When writing Discussions, Questions, Ideas, and Comments, no visual indication is given when your work is saved (but have no fear, it is!). A visual indicator is provided when writing knowledge base articles, however.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6030677/uploads/BBU4ZP5NQ40G/example-post.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6030677/uploads/BBU4ZP5NQ40G/example-post.png" alt="example_post.png" height="564" width="813" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <h2 data-id="manual-save">Manual save</h2><p>For even more peace of mind, you can also <strong>manually save </strong>your posts via the <strong>Save Draft</strong> button.
