Drafts and private posts

A draft is a post you have not published yet. It is visible only to you, in your drafts list, and nothing about it reaches feeds or search until you publish. A published post can also be made private from its ⋯ menu: it stays up for you but leaves the public site — feeds, search, your public profile. Making it public again puts it back. Use private when you want to withdraw something without deleting it.
