Draft Goals

You can save any goal as a draft before officially launching it in Quantum Workplace.

Overview

As you create a goal in Quantum Workplace, you can save the goal as a draft before publishing the goal. Saving a goal as a draft gives you the time and opportunity to continue editing all aspects of the goal until you're ready to publish the goal. 

When a goal is saved as a draft, it is only visible to the goal owner, anyone in the upline of the goal owner, and Admin users of Quantum Workplace. 

Draft goals are not visible to any contributors or followers.
