This article shows you the Draft Products page: what lands there, how to finish a draft, and how to publish it.
Open it whenever you were interrupted halfway through adding something, or after a run of AI product building.
Before you start
Publishing needs an account that can edit products, and deleting needs one that can delete them.
A draft is invisible to shoppers, and it does not appear anywhere in your shop.
Step 1. Save a product as a draft
The physical product form has a Save Draft button beside Save & Publish. Press it and everything you typed is kept as it is. A draft only needs the English product name.
A product you filled in with an AI tool is kept the same way when you press Save Draft, so nothing you generated is lost.
While Auto save draft is on, a green Auto chip sits on the Save Draft button with the time of the last save, and the draft keeps saving by itself while you work. The small arrow beside the button opens the Auto save draft switch. A published product does not auto save.
Save Draft sits beside the publish button on every product form.
Step 2. Open Draft Products
Pick Drafts from the side menu. A number beside it shows how many drafts you have. On the Products page, the Show Drafts button opens the same list.
The page is titled Draft Products, and the line under the title says it plainly: Products you haven't published yet - nothing is lost.
The Drafts page lists your unpublished products on their own.
Step 3. Find the one you want
The search box looks through your drafts by name. Beside it, the filter switches between All and AI Drafts, so you can see only the drafts built with AI.
The button on the right swaps the list for picture cards, each with a DRAFT badge on the corner.
Search your drafts by name, then switch between All and AI Drafts.
Step 4. Open it and finish it
The pencil opens the full product form with everything you had, and the line under the title says the draft is not published. Fill in what is missing: usually the price, the category, or the second language. While it is a draft, you can still change its kind and stock method.
Read anything AI wrote before you go further, because the AI sometimes gets a detail wrong. Then press Save & Publish, or come back to the list.
The pencil opens the full product form with everything you had already typed.
Step 5. Publish it
On the list, turn on the switch in the Status column. That is how a draft becomes a live product, and you see Product published.
If something is still missing, the switch does not move and a message tells you what the product still needs.
Hint: to publish many drafts at once, open Products, press Show Drafts, tick them and press Publish selected. Any that still miss a field are listed with what each one needs.
Flipping the switch in the Status column is what turns a draft into a live product.
Step 6. Clear out what you do not need
The bin deletes a draft after you confirm, and the deletion cannot be undone.
Drafts do not count toward your plan's product limit, so you can keep as many as you need while you work.
The bin deletes a draft after you confirm. The deletion cannot be undone.
Result
Everything half finished sits in one place instead of scattered through your catalog, the AI built ones are one filter away, and a finished draft joins your shop with a single switch.
