Every post you start in Rool is automatically saved as a draft so you never lose your work. You can close the browser, switch tasks, or come back days later and pick up right where you left off.
How auto-save works
As you build a post in the wizard, Rool saves your progress to the cloud automatically. There is nothing you need to turn on -- it happens in the background every time you make a change.
When it kicks in -- Auto-save activates once your post has meaningful content (at least one selected media file or some caption text). Simply selecting accounts does not trigger a save.
How often -- Changes are saved roughly every 1.5 seconds after you stop typing or making selections.
What is saved -- Everything: your selected accounts and platforms, media, captions, AI settings, scheduling options, and which wizard step you were on.
If you close the tab or navigate away mid-post, a draft is waiting for you the next time you come back.
Finding your drafts
Open Posts from the sidebar.
Click the Drafts button near the top of the posts list.
The Drafts page shows all of your saved drafts sorted by the most recently updated. Each card displays:
The draft name (auto-generated from the caption if you did not set one manually).
A preview of the caption text.
The branches (accounts) the draft targets.
Who created the draft.
A progress badge showing how far through the wizard you got (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, or "Ready" when all four steps are complete).
Searching drafts
When you have several drafts, use the search bar at the top of the page to filter by name or caption text.
Resuming a draft
To pick up where you left off, click anywhere on a draft card -- or click the Edit button. This opens the post wizard with all of your previous selections restored, including the exact step you were working on.
Duplicating a draft
Need to create a similar post for a different set of accounts? Instead of starting from scratch:
Find the draft you want to copy.
Click the Duplicate button on the draft card.
Rool creates a new draft named "(original name) (copy)" and opens it in the wizard immediately. The copy belongs to you, even if the original was created by someone else.
Renaming a draft
By default, drafts are named using the first 50 characters of your caption, or "Draft" followed by the date if there is no caption yet. To give a draft a more descriptive name:
Click the more options menu (three dots) on the draft card.
Select Rename.
Type a new name in the dialog and click Save.
The new name will stick even if auto-save later updates the caption -- once you manually rename a draft, the name stays.
Deleting a draft
To remove a draft you no longer need:
Click the more options menu on the draft card.
Select Delete.
Confirm in the dialog that appears.
Deleted drafts cannot be recovered, so double-check before confirming.
Saving a draft explicitly with "Save to Drafts"
While auto-save handles ongoing work, you can also save your draft explicitly and exit the wizard:
Complete as many wizard steps as you like.
At the bottom of the wizard, click Save to Drafts.
This saves the draft and takes you back to the post editor where you can also use the Activity panel to leave comments and collaborate with your team.
Submitting a completed draft
When all four wizard steps are complete (Accounts, Media, Captions, Schedule), the progress badge shows "Ready" and a Submit button appears on the draft card.
Click Submit (or open the draft and click Create Post / Schedule Post at the bottom of the wizard).
Depending on your organization's approval settings, the post will either go live immediately, be scheduled, or be sent for approval.
Once a post is successfully created, the draft is automatically cleaned up -- it will no longer appear in your drafts list.
Who can see drafts?
Regular users see only their own drafts.
Admins and Editors can see all drafts across the organization, and can rename, edit, duplicate, or delete any draft.
Tips
Don't worry about saving -- auto-save has you covered. Focus on your content and let Rool handle the rest.
Use duplicates as templates -- if you frequently post similar content to different account groups, keep a "template" draft and duplicate it each time.
Name your drafts when working on several at once so you can find them quickly in the search bar.
