Draft
Also known as: Tweet draft, Scheduled draft
A tweet you've written but not yet published — stored locally or in a scheduling tool.
In depth
X's native draft system stores drafts on the device you wrote them on (no cloud sync as of 2026). Scheduling tools store drafts on their own backend, which makes them durable and editable from any device.
Strong creators batch drafts in 60-90 minute weekly sessions, then schedule across the week. Drafting and scheduling separately removes the in-the-moment pressure to write under deadline — which usually produces better content.
