Drafts · XenForo add-on

Some threads are worth writing together before they go live: rule changes, guides, event announcements, staff statements. Drafts gives your team a private place to write one, argue about it, and publish it as a finished thread crediting everyone who worked on it.

What it does​

• Invite the right people. Individual members or whole user groups, each as a Reader or an Editor.
• See what changed. Full version history with visual diffs, so nobody has to reread the whole text to find the one edited paragraph.
• Discuss the draft, not in the draft. Comments live beside the text rather than inside it.
• Approve before publishing. An approval step, then publication to any forum, immediately or on a schedule.
• Credit the co-authors on the published thread.
• Housekeeping included. Mentions, an activity timeline, soft delete with automatic purge, and a full Admin CP manager.

New in 2.0.0​

• The draft page is rebuilt as a single command centre instead of scattered panels.
• Autosave was rewritten, so work in progress survives between saves.

Good to know​

Requires XenForo 2.3 and PHP 8.0 or later.
