Marking Categories or Sections as Drafts in Zendesk
How do I mark a category or section as a draft in Zendesk?
Marking a category or section as a draft in Zendesk restricts access to it, making it visible only to Guide admins.
To mark a new category or section as a draft, create and save it first. Then, click 'Mark as draft' in the sidebar and 'Update' at the top of the page. For existing categories or sections, open them in edit mode, select 'Mark as draft', and update. Drafts are not viewable by end-users, allowing you to work on content without public visibility.
