Hi.  I am a new user.  I was pretty surprised to see that there is no draft mode on projects, which means a work-around, which isn't great, although I will have another chance to double-check my work... so I will reframe it as a review process I guess.  I really hope the next update will bring a draft mode and / or ability to move projects between portfolios.  It makes no sense to me why there wouldn't be a draft mode of projects, unless I am making my website in the wrong place (not being negative, just genuinely curious).  What is the typical context of a project in Squarespace?  This is a potential deal-breaker.  There are some functions that are common sense.  This makes me wonder what is happening in the project teams... Anyway, any tips are appreciated.  I guess I'll research some code solutions and workarounds and hope this is fixed soon.

Hi,
How can I put a new project as a draft? Whenever I want to add a project in my portfolio page, it is automatically published and visible on my homepage, but I want to be able to put it as a draft, so I can craft the page without it being visible to visitors.
Thanks!

I 100% agree. This would also be helpful for shifts in your portfolio. For example, my graphic design agency creates a high volume of material. While, I want to display current work more often than not, it would be helpful to have a complete archive of work even if some projects were not being displayed. 

I also ran into the same issue. I would really like to be able to keep projects in draft mode until ready to post. This would helpful for time sensitive information or pages that need to be ready ahead of time to post.

I think the ideal would be to make it possible to move projects among different portfolios. That way:
I can create a portfolio (X) that holds my "template" for projects I can hide Portfolio X so that it's not visible to the public, only to admins I can create projects in Portfolio X and then move them to a live portfolio when ready. As it stands, looks like I'll have to use @mforny 's solution...but I'll have to create a different template in each portfolio.
