# Quick Draft | Website Manual

**Quick Draft**

Quick Draft is a small box on the WordPress Dashboard for jotting down a post idea.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Quick Draft is a small box on the WordPress Dashboard for jotting down a post idea. You give it a title and a few lines, and it saves a draft post that you can finish later in the full editor.

It can only save drafts, so publishing, images and categories all wait until you open the draft properly. Your latest drafts are listed underneath the box, which makes it a handy reminder of ideas you haven't written up yet.

### Another post. Does it connect to anything?

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
