Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I could find no suitable draft functionality for my site, so I decided to create my own. I approached this in a simple manner.
1) Allow users to access posts that they submitted to be moderated. Thus, they can save them and access them later to keep editing. How you notify the moderator that the post is ready for publishing is up to you. We simply use DRAFT in the subject.
2) When a node goes from unpublished to published, update the create time to ensure it goes to the top of the list.
Very simple, yet effective.

Comment #2
2root4u commentedForgot to mention how user's access their draft entries. This mod allows them to go to "My Blog" to see their unpublished entries to keep editing.
