# Managing Drafts

### Overview

Drafts allow you to save an incomplete app creation and return to finish it later. Progress is saved automatically as you work, so you do not need to complete app creation in a single session.

***

### Accessing your drafts

Your drafts appear at the top of your dashboard when you log in to SDP. Only drafts you created are visible to you — drafts created by other members of the same entity are not shown.

### How drafts work

* **Auto-save:** Your progress is saved automatically as you fill in each step. There is no manual save required. While a save is in progress, a **"Saving..."** indicator is shown in the form; once complete, it changes to show when the draft was last saved.
* **Multiple drafts:** You can have more than one draft open for the same product at the same time.
* **Resuming a draft:** Select a draft from your dashboard to continue where you left off.
* **Deleting a draft:** To remove a draft manually, select the draft from your dashboard and choose **Delete**.

***

### Draft expiry

Drafts expire after **30 days** of inactivity. Once expired, the draft is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

To help you track this:

* The expiry countdown for each draft is displayed on the draft card in SDP.
* You will receive an email notification **7 days before** a draft expires.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Expired drafts cannot be recovered**. If you receive an expiry reminder, review and submit your app accordingly before the deadline to avoid losing your progress.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.developer.singpass.gov.sg/docs/singpass-developer-portal-sdp/app-management/managing-drafts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
