Draft and Draft Review are paired stages that let you collect and review creator content before it goes live. Draft is where creators, brand users, and internal users can upload draft content for assigned deliverables before content goes live. Draft Review is where your team approves, requests changes, or rejects.
When to Enable Draft and Draft Review
Enable both stages if you need brand, legal, or compliance review before any content is published. Skip both if creators can post without prior review — they'll move directly from Confirmation or Pre-Payment into Content Creation.
How Creators Move Through Draft Stages
Draft → Draft Review: Automatic. Once all required draft deliverables have been submitted, whether by the creator or on the creator’s behalf, the creator moves to Draft Review.
Draft Review → Content Creation: Manual. Your team reviews the drafts and approves them to move the creator forward. For a full walkthrough of how to review drafts and give feedback, see Reviewing Draft Content in Later Influence.
Enabling Draft and Draft Review
- In Later Influence, open your campaign and select the Setup tab
- Select Workflow Stages from the sidebar
- Toggle on Draft and Draft Review
How Draft Review Works
In Draft Review, drafts are grouped under their associated deliverables so you can review each submission in context. Each version is labeled (V1, V2, etc.) so revision history is easy to follow. Each draft shows who uploaded it, such as the creator, a brand user, or an internal user.
When submitting a draft status to a creator, a Submit button confirms the send — nothing goes out until you select it. Feedback to the influencer is shared immediately after you click Send to Influencer. Feedback to the influencer responses are threaded, and creators can view the whole thread in Later Social. Drafts uploaded in Later Influence also appear in Later Social, and drafts uploaded in Later Social appear in Later Influence. Internal comments added via shareable links display a tag indicating their source, so your team can tell who left them.
