# Drafts and Scheduling

Not ready to publish yet? Save your work as a draft and come back later, or schedule drafts to go live at a specific time.

### Where to find it

Go to [**Drafts**](https://app.nifty.ai/inventory?tab=drafts) (in the [**Inventory Manager**](/inventory-management/inventory-manager.md)).

### How it works

Drafts and scheduled drafts give you flexible control over when your listings go live:

* A **draft** is an in-progress listing in Nifty that hasn’t been published to a marketplace yet.
* **Ready to list** is a toggle that marks a draft as complete and eligible for bulk publishing and scheduling.
* A **scheduled listing** is a ready draft with a future publish time.

You can move drafts through this lifecycle at your own pace: create drafts, mark them as ready, then publish immediately or schedule them for later.

**Note:** There’s no limit on how many drafts you can have in Nifty.

### Drafts

#### Saving a draft

Any listing you're creating can be saved as a draft:

1. Fill in whatever information you have.
2. Click **Save as draft**.
3. The draft is saved to your **Drafts**.

Drafts don't need to be complete — all that's required is one photo, and you can fill in the rest later.

#### Working with drafts

From within an individual draft, you can:

* **Update:** Save your progress.
* **Delete:** Remove the draft permanently.
* **Navigate:** Use the dropdown or arrow buttons to move between drafts.
* **Mark as ready:** Confirm the draft is complete.

From the **Drafts** page, you can:

* **Edit:** Click a draft title to continue working.
* **Delete:** Remove the draft permanently.
* **Publish/Schedule:** Select multiple drafts and post immediately or set a future publish time.

#### What drafts are good for

* **Bulk generation:** Our [**Bulk Generate**](/crosslisting/ai-listing-generator.md) feature allows you to submit up to 30 sets of photos to the AI, and the results are saved as drafts.
* **Batch photo sessions:** Upload photos for multiple items, save as drafts, add details later.
* **Incomplete information:** Save now, research pricing or details later.
* **Review before posting:** Create drafts, then review for quality before publishing.

### Scheduled listings

#### How to schedule

1. Complete your draft and toggle **Ready to list** (top right on desktop, bottom left on mobile).
2. Go back to the **Drafts** page.
3. Use the filter bar to narrow down to **Ready to list** drafts.
4. Select multiple drafts and click **Publish** in the **Bulk action bar** at the bottom.
5. Select the date and time you want the listing to go live (or now).
6. Confirm.

The draft will automatically publish at the selected time.

#### Managing scheduled listings

Once a draft is scheduled, it cannot be edited unless the schedule is canceled. To cancel:

* From the **Drafts** page: open the **Draft menu** (three dots on far right) and click **Unschedule**.
* Or open the draft and click **Unschedule**.

#### Why schedule listings

* **Optimal timing:** Post when buyers are most active.
* **Consistent posting:** Spread new listings throughout the week.
* **Batch workflow:** Prepare everything on Sunday, schedule throughout the week.
