What is Blogger Draft - How to Use Blogger Draft (with Picures)

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.

Use of Blogger Draft

The blogger draft is used by the blogger team to test the upcoming features of Google Blogger (Blogspot) on some users before they're all released to all users.

Example - The current blogger dashboard is rolled out to all after testing with the draft blogger (beta) users. 

How to use Blogger Draft

There are two ways in which you can activate the Draft Blogger feature when you're using the normal blogger.

Difference Between Draft and Blogger Draft

Many people confused draft editor with draft blogger, even I considered both are the same till I came to know about the difference. 

So the difference is,

Draft in Blogger	Draft Blogger
Drafts are writings that aren't published. Blog posts are still in the writing phase or in the editing phase.	Draft Blogger is the "Beta" version of the blogger where the blogger team tests the upcoming features with draft blogger users before releasing it to all users.

How to Disable Blogger Draft mode

You can also disable the draft blogger mode if you decided not to be the beta user. 

But after you disabled it, you can enjoy beta features that the blogger team decided to test it on blogger draft users. And you have to wait till the new features are released to normal users to use them.

1. Log in to your draft blogger account.



2. From the left navigation panel, select "Settings".



3. From the main page of the settings menu, scroll down to the last to the General section. 



4. And in it, you can find the "Use Blogger Draft" toggle switch. Disable it to use the normal blogger mode.
