Project as draft

Site URL: https://daanouthere.com

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 don’t understand what is the essence of the article?

When I post a new project to my portfolio page, it is already published. But I want to make the page first, just like a blog post, and then publish the project when I’m done. 

I totally agree.  It is called a "project".  This means something that takes time to create, so doesn't really make sense that it publishes right away.  So, now I need to create projects, which take days or weeks, depending on what it is, etc., in Microsoft Word or another program.  Then I need to transfer it to projects when it is finished.  That sucks.  I really hope this will be changed at some point.  Kind of seems obvious.  I am guessing that sitting down with the software engineers for a coffee would bring to light the crappy reason why this feature isn't available.  Otherwise, Squarespace works well.  Just the draft project feature that needs to happen.  Peace.

Hi,

Do you still need help on this? We can use some code to hide these draft from showing on live site.

I am honestly shocked, that this feature is not included. I just signed up for squarespace and this is a make or break for me. How am I supposed to work on project pages without being able to save them in unfinished stages? This means people visiting my page will see half-baked project descriptions until I am done editing? I also would really need the option to set existing projects to private or migrate them to another portfolio in case I don't want to feature them on my main page anymore. These are really standard features in all other CMS systems I have used so far. It's a shame too, because everything else works so much smoother and the editor is just great!

You can add a draft to page url, eg: /project/design-draft

Then share link to page where you want to hide draft item, we will give the code

Hello, I have the same issue!
