What is a Private vs Public draft?
In Datapeople, Public drafts are job drafts visible to everyone in your organization’s draft library. This visibility makes it easier for teams to discover, reuse, and collaborate on high-quality job content.
Private drafts are visible to your Datapeople Admins, the users that create them, in addition to anyone you invite to collaborate on this job directly. This is the default setting for new job posts.
Who Can Create Public Drafts?
To maintain content quality and library cleanliness, only Admin users can make drafts Public. This ensures shared drafts are curated and intentional.
Non-admin users save drafts as private by default and can collaborate by sharing drafts through our Share feature.

How Do Admins Manage Public Drafts?
Admins have the following capabilities:
- Mark drafts as Public or Private.
- Curate the organization’s shared draft library by controlling which drafts are publicly visible.
- Manage draft visibility to maintain a clean, high-quality content repository.
If you’re an Admin, these controls are available in the job status menu as shown below.
Best Practices for Using Public Drafts
- Admins: Review and approve drafts before marking them public to ensure quality.
- All Users: Use Share workflows to collaborate privately before requesting Public Draft status from an Admin.
- Teams: Regularly audit the draft library to archive or update outdated drafts.
