  Hi,

  I have a website launch and I want to work on my layout without publishing it in one day because I can’t. And it seems to me that it should be an MUST HAVE functionality to let user be able to save as a draft before launch new design or new content online. How can I do this ?

  Why is this so complicated ?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  They used to allow saving drafts manually, but it now seems like you can only save drafts via autosave, and just have to hope you don’t lose your most recent changes?

  That said, if you want to be sure, you could temporarily Schedule a post to some far-off, future day and adjust it later.

  There is no need to make an untrue story. You can still save a page or post as a draft – https://wordpress.com/support/pages/#adjust-the-page-settings
