Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the "town hall" (meta-discussion site) for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

A way to see all my outstanding draft posts

+1
−0

If I start writing a question or an answer then (unless I have switched off this behaviour in my user preferences) a draft is saved. If I close the page my work is not lost, and will be reloaded next time I visit the page.

Over time I may forget that I started drafting a post, resulting in the draft never being posted. For a question, I will be reminded that I was part way through writing it next time I press "Ask question" to ask a different one, because the draft of my partly completed previous question will show. However, for an answer, I will never see that I am part way through writing one unless I happen to visit the relevant question again.

Would it be useful to have a place on the user page to see all current drafts, as links to the relevant pages (the new question page or the relevant question for a draft answer)?

Since this would be to avoid forgetting about drafts, this might be most useful on the "All Communities" tab of the user page, so they can all be seen in one place. Another alternative would be to show any drafts on the relevant community on the Dashboard page.
