# How do I save and restore a draft listing?
## For Business Account users who add listings manually and want to finish a listing later
If you can't finish a listing in one go, click **Save as draft** at the bottom of the form. Your information is kept, and you can continue later from **Add Listing** › **Create New Listing** by clicking **Restore draft**.
### **How do I save a draft?**
While creating a listing manually, click **Save as draft** at the bottom of the form, next to **Publish**. You'll see the message "The draft was created successfully". The listing is not published yet, so buyers can't see it.
### **How do I restore a draft?**
1. Click **Add Listing**.
1. Under **Add listing manually**, click **Create New Listing**.
2. Select the same category you used for the draft (Real Estate, Cars, Yachts or Aircraft).
3. Click **Restore draft** at the top right of the form. The form fills in with the information you saved.
4. Complete the missing details and click **Publish**.
### **Why don't I see my draft?**
Drafts are saved per category. If you saved a car listing as a draft, you'll only find it when you create a new listing in the **Cars** category. Check that you selected the same category as before.
### **Can I save a listing from my CRM feed as a draft?**
No. Drafts are only for listings you create manually. Listings from a CRM feed are updated from your CRM.
