How draft mode works
Draft mode enables Meeting Admins (Team owners, agenda co-authors, and meeting organizers) to view, edit, and save agenda items without publishing the agenda.
Publishing the agenda grants all members of the team who are invited to the meeting access to view the agenda.
Attendees can be added to the meeting via the calendar invite (either in Outlook or the Teams calendar) while the meeting is still in Draft Mode or after publishing
Save an agenda in draft mode
- Locate and access the meeting from the Decisions dashboard
- Build an agenda item
- Click "Save as draft" (rather than "Save")
Decisions will save the agenda item in draft mode, denoted with a badge at the top reading "Draft". Meeting Admins will be able to come back to the agenda at their leisure to add more agenda items or edit the preexisting agenda item(s) as needed.
Upon publishing an agenda all members of the corresponding team/channel in Teams will be able to view the agenda. All non-members who have been granted access to the agenda will also then be able to view the agenda.
