  Hi there,

  Sorry for the trouble! The references you found to a paper airplane may be from an older version of the app. Here’s how you can upload local drafts with the current app:

  1. Open the draft in the app.
  2. Edit the draft (tap the pencil icon at the bottom right).
  3. Tap Publish at the top right. This will upload it to the server and publish it.

  If you want to keep it as a draft instead of publishing it, you can use these steps:

  1. Tap on Post Settings
  2. Change the status to “Draft” and then save it.

  Please let me know if you run into any trouble with those steps!

  I think the problem is that it will not accept videos… And the app is now telling me to “get the VideoPress upgrade to upload”…

  Ah yes, sorry for missing that detail! To upload video directly to your site, you’ll need VideoPress (part of the WordPress.com Premium plan).

  If there’s anything more I can do to help, please let me know!
