Working on multiple drafts

Context vs Drafts

Context and Drafts serve different purposes:

• Context items are raw materials you add (YouTube videos, articles, text, URLs). Blotato extracts content from your context to help generate posts. Adding context does not create a draft.

• Drafts are the actual posts you edit and publish.

To create content from your context:

1. Add your context and toggle it on in the left sidebar (only toggled-on items are used)

2. Type a prompt in the chat box at the bottom of the AI Agent -- it shows placeholder text like "Write posts about..."

3. Press the send arrow. Blotato generates drafts with real content from your toggled-on context, one per platform you ask for

Example prompt: "Using my context, create one LinkedIn post and one Facebook post. Adapt each to that platform's style and length."

Note: the pencil "New Post" button creates a blank draft canvas on purpose, for writing a post manually. It does not generate anything from your context. If you click it expecting generated content, you get an empty draft. Older tutorials call this button "+ Add Post".

Starting a new draft

When you're working on a post, you can always start another draft: ask the chat box to generate another post, or click the pencil "New Post" button for a blank one.

All your drafts will still be there. You can switch back and forth between drafts.

You can even delete the context you used for the first draft and add a completely different set of context. New posts you generate from the chat box will use whatever context is toggled on at that moment.

Drafts aren't being created?

If you type a prompt in the AI Agent chat box and no drafts appear, clear the cached draft state and try again:

1. In the left sidebar, click Discard Drafts.

2. Type your prompt in the chat box again.

3. Press the send arrow.

Note: Discard Drafts clears the drafts currently on your screen, so publish or copy anything you want to keep before you click it.
