+## 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.
