# Drafts

> The /news draft subcommands — list, edit, delete, and publish a draft directly.

4 commands under `/news draft`, sourced directly from `NewsCog` (`src/cogs/news.py`).

<Info>
  **Permission** is the check News Bot enforces when the command actually runs — see
  [Installation & Permissions](/news/installation-permissions) for how Announcement Manager
  resolves.
</Info>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="/news draft list — List draft announcements">
    ```
    /news draft list
    ```

    Lists up to 25 drafts with their id and title. Use the id (or the autocomplete suggestions on
    the other draft commands) to act on a specific one.

    **Permission:** None — any member in the server can list drafts
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="/news draft edit — Edit a draft">
    ```
    /news draft edit draft:<draft>
    ```

    Reopens the staged builder on an existing draft, exactly like `/news create` but starting
    from what's already saved.

    **Permission:** Announcement Manager

    **Example:** `/news draft edit draft:Season 4 Is Live`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="/news draft delete — Delete a draft">
    ```
    /news draft delete draft:<draft>
    ```

    Asks for confirmation first. This permanently removes the draft — it cannot be undone.

    **Permission:** Announcement Manager

    **Example:** `/news draft delete draft:Season 4 Is Live`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="/news draft publish — Publish a draft now">
    ```
    /news draft publish draft:<draft>
    ```

    Publishes immediately to every configured target channel. Refuses if the draft has no target
    channels selected yet. If the draft's mention policy would actually ping `@here`,
    `@everyone`, or a role, a mass-notification confirmation screen shows first, naming exactly
    who gets pinged and how many channels are targeted. Either way, you get a publish report
    showing which channels succeeded and which failed and why. See
    [Drafting & Publishing](/news/features/drafting-publishing) for how multi-channel delivery
    and retries work.

    **Permission:** Announcement Manager

    **Example:** `/news draft publish draft:Season 4 Is Live`
