# Draft mode

## Creating a draft 

If you create a page, you can save it without publishing it: only the Spot admins will be able to see the page and participate in its writing until it is ready to be published! 

To do this, let the switch `Published` off.

Clicking `Back` will display the page map on your collection in light grey with a Draft status.

By hovering your mouse over this draft, the pencil icon :pencil2: will appear: by clicking on it, you will be able to edit the draft and then choose to re-save it as a draft or publish it.&#x20;

**The same works for links:** click on `Save as draft` from the link editing drawer and your members will not be able to see it.&#x20;

## Converting a page or link to draft&#x20;

Once a page or link has been published, it is possible to remove it from your members' view and edit it, using the draft mode.&#x20;

* Page: Go to the page and switch off the `Published`.
* Link: Click on the pencil icon :pencil2: that appears when you hover over a published link to access the edit drawer. You can now click on  `Convert to Draft`.&#x20;

When you return to the collection page, your document now appears greyed out and can be re-published at any time.
