Keep Multiple Drafts Going in Every Project
Every project now keeps its own list of drafts, and every draft survives a restart — so you can start a second campaign, switch projects, or close the app without losing your place.
You are three sentences into a LinkedIn campaign for your side project when a client Slack lights up. You switch projects to deal with it, come back an hour later, and the half-written campaign is gone — the composer reset the moment you navigated away. So you start over from memory, and it is never quite as good the second time.
If you run marketing for more than one thing, that loss compounds. A launch campaign for one product, a weekly thread for another, a scheduled post you were halfway through tweaking — they all live in the same fragile "current draft" slot, and switching between them means whichever one you touch last wins. The rest quietly disappear. You end up rushing to finish whatever you have open before you dare click anything else, which is a strange way to have to work when the whole point of the app is to make marketing less stressful.
What changed
Every project now keeps its own list of drafts, and every draft survives. You can leave a campaign half-finished, jump to another project, close the app entirely, and come back tomorrow to find each draft exactly where you left it — ready to reopen, finish, or throw away.
How it works in practice
Start a second campaign without losing the first
In New Campaign, you no longer overwrite yourself. Begin a campaign, step away, start another — the first one doesn't vanish, it becomes a saved draft. A single project can hold Draft Campaign 1 and Draft Campaign 2 side by side, so a product launch and a routine weekly post can be in flight at the same time without one clobbering the other.
Saved drafts show up in the Content Library with a clear Draft status badge, sitting right alongside your finished campaigns. You can see at a glance what's done, what's partially delivered, and what's still waiting for you to come back to it.
Pick up a scheduled post mid-thought
The Content Calendar now has a Drafts rail at the top. When you start composing a post and don't finish, it's auto-saved there — the rail shows how many drafts are waiting, which channels each one targets, and when it was last saved. Open any one to continue where you left off, or delete the ones you've moved past.
Each draft card carries just enough context to decide what to do with it: the post's channel count and the exact time it was last saved, so a draft from ten minutes ago and one from last week are easy to tell apart. Closing the composer no longer costs you the post either. Clicking outside it keeps your work instead of discarding it, and an explicit close waits until your latest edit is stored before it lets go.
Every project stays separate
Drafts are scoped per project. The campaigns you're drafting for one product don't bleed into the draft list of another — each project shows only its own unfinished work. Switching projects switches the draft list with it, so you're never scrolling past ten other products' half-written posts to find the one you want.
And because all of this is stored locally on your machine — the Content Library sits on a local SQLite store, not a remote server — "survives a restart" means exactly that: quit the app, reboot, open it a week later, and the drafts are still there. Nothing was riding on a cloud sync that might not have fired, and nothing left your machine to make it durable.
Your old drafts come along for free
If you were already using 1MarketingTool before this update, you don't have to do anything to migrate. Any single campaign draft you had saved is carried forward automatically into the new per-project draft list, so the work you had in progress simply shows up in the right place. There's no import step and no chance of the upgrade quietly dropping what you were in the middle of.
Before vs after
| Task | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Start a second campaign in a project | Overwrote the first | Both kept as separate drafts |
| Switch projects mid-draft | Lost the in-progress work | Draft saved, waiting when you return |
| Close the schedule composer by accident | Post discarded | Post auto-saved to the Drafts rail |
| Restart the app | Draft gone | Draft still there, locally stored |
| Find a specific unfinished post | No list to find it in | Drafts rail + Library Draft badge |
Who benefits most
People marketing more than one product. If you run campaigns for two or three projects, per-project draft lists are the difference between parallel work and constant do-overs. Each product carries its own stack of unfinished drafts, none of them stepping on the others.
Anyone who works in short bursts. If your marketing happens in the gaps between other work — fifteen minutes here, twenty there — you rarely finish a campaign in one sitting. Recoverable drafts mean stopping mid-sentence costs you nothing; you resume from the exact spot next time.
Try it
Update to the latest 1MarketingTool, open any project, and start a campaign or a scheduled post — then walk away from it. When you come back, it's still there, in the Library with a Draft badge or in the Content Calendar's Drafts rail. Your unfinished work stops being something you have to protect and becomes something you can simply return to.
