 chirpie posts --status scheduled
 ```
 
+## Drafts
+
+`--draft` saves a post or a thread without sending it. Nothing reaches the platform and nothing counts against your quota until you promote it. Anything that would go wrong is printed back, one warning per line.
+
+```bash
+chirpie post "Half an idea" --draft
+chirpie thread "Opening line" --draft     # a draft thread may be one post
+chirpie posts --status draft              # what is saved
+
+# Change only the time it remembers
+chirpie posts update "$POST_ID" --schedule-at 2027-04-02T09:00:00Z --keep-draft
+
+# Promote it: queue it, or send it now
+chirpie posts update "$POST_ID" --schedule-at 2027-04-02T09:00:00Z
+chirpie posts publish "$POST_ID"
+```
+
+Promoting runs every rule a normal post runs and takes the quota, so a draft that would be refused stays a draft, unchanged. A draft thread is promoted whole.
+
+## Several accounts at once
+
+Repeat `-a` to publish the same post to up to 25 accounts in one call.
+
+```bash
+chirpie post "Shipped a new release." -a "$X_ACCOUNT" -a "$BSKY_ACCOUNT"
+
+# Give one account its own text, inline or from a file
+chirpie post "Shipped a new release." -a "$X_ACCOUNT" -a "$BSKY_ACCOUNT" \
+  --config "{\"$BSKY_ACCOUNT\":{\"text\":\"Shorter, for Bluesky\"}}"
+chirpie post "Shipped a new release." -a "$X_ACCOUNT" -a "$BSKY_ACCOUNT" --config ./overrides.json
+
+# A thread, with a thread of its own for one account
+chirpie thread "One" "Two" -a "$X_ACCOUNT" -a "$BSKY_ACCOUNT" \
+  --config "{\"$BSKY_ACCOUNT\":{\"posts\":[{\"text\":\"A\"},{\"text\":\"B\"}]}}"
+
+# Read the whole group back
+chirpie posts --group 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
+```
+
+One line is printed per account, with a group ID above them. An account the platform refused is shown with its error while the others stay published, and the command leaves with a non-zero status when any account failed. An override says only what differs, and naming media replaces the shared media for that account.
