  I had no difficulties using the old editing system. I have created a post using the new system, but I can’t find it to publish it. Where are my drafts?

  I was trying to set category and tag values, got a menu that listed categories. I clicked on one, the page disappeared. Now I can’t find the page. I did apparently add that category to a previous post. Frustrating. Can I get the old system back?

  The old or classic editor is no longer available on the wordpress.com platform. Instead you have the Classic Block, https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  Hi there, just adding that your drafts are still in the same place in your MySite dashboard at https://wordpress.com/posts/

  To add categories and tags, open your draft and in the editing interface, and with the Gear icon enabled at the top right, you’ll see two tabs at the top of the sidebar >Post and Block. Categories are on the Post tab https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/#assigning-posts-to-categories That screenshot says “Document” but that has changed to Post

  Post back here if you have any other questions about this.
