Document Library supports document draft mode.


This feature is useful for users who wish to upload documents, but not ready to publish and view-able for other users.


Following sample screenshot of adding document, when the draft mode is enabled.



You will notice we have additional options:

  • Save as Draft.
    User can upload document into system, and the status will be draft. Nobody other than the Author can view/download/edit the draft document. 
  • Save as Draft and Close.
    Similar to "Save as Draft" option, however the Add-Document window will close.
  • Save and Publish.
    The document is not saved as draft, and automatically publish.
