Most bloggers don't know "Blogger Draft" and confuse it with the blogger's "draft editor". 

So in this blog post, I will be explaining "What is Blogger Draft", the Use of blogger draft, how to use them, and the difference between draft and blogger draft.

Most of the Blogspot bloggers would have seen the "Use Blogger Draft" toggle option in their settings menu and didn't know about it, so it's time to expand our knowledge on Blogging.

It is important that every Blogspot bloggers should know about it.


What is Blogger Draft


Blogger Draft is the "beta version" of Google Blogger, this service started as a part of blogger redesign in 2006. Google Blogger tests upcoming features with Draft Blogger users before releasing them to the normal Blogspot users.


Draft Bloggers' dashboard also differs from the normal blogger dashboard. 

This featured can be turned "Off" and "On" from the Settings menu.

To summarise in a single sentence, Draft Blogger is the BETA version of Blogger.
