Try different product types with draft mode

Test different product types before upgrading a plan by using draft mode.

If you're on a legacy plan that includes Draft Mode and you've reached your Product limit, Draft Mode lets you create and test a Product before you upgrade or free up space.

Note: Draft Mode is only on some legacy plans. The current Kickstarter, Basic, Growth, and Pro plans don't include it. On those plans, you can't create a new Product once you reach your Product limit, not even as a draft. If Kajabi doesn't offer Draft Mode when you're at your limit, your plan doesn't include it.

Why draft a product?

Draft Mode lets you create 1 extra Product of each type (Course, Coaching, Podcast, Newsletter, and Download) over your Product limit. You can't publish the draft until you upgrade your plan or delete another Product to get back under your limit.

A draft Course, Coaching program, Podcast, or Newsletter doesn't count toward your Product limit until you publish it. A draft Download does count, because all Downloads together count as 1 Product.

After you upgrade or delete another Product, the draft doesn't publish on its own. You publish it yourself. See Publish a draft Product below.

Note: Once you publish a drafted Product, it isn't possible to revert it back to drafted status. Active Products cannot be changed to drafts.

Draft a Product

If your plan includes Draft Mode and you've reached your Product limit, you can still create 1 additional Product of each type (Course, Coaching, Podcast, Newsletter, and Download) in Draft Mode.

Create a Product in draft mode

  1. Open the Products tab from your Dashboard.

  2. Select a Product Type (Course, Coaching, Podcast, Newsletter, or Download).

  3. Complete the prompts to create your desired Product.

  4. After selecting your Product type, you'll receive a notification that you've reached your Product limit but you can proceed with the Product in Draft Mode:

Keep in mind that if your Product is in Draft Mode, you can build and customize the Product but you won't be able to publish it until you upgrade or delete another product.

Identify a draft Product

Your draft Product will display a banner at the top of the Product editor notifying you that the Product is in Draft Mode:

Publish a draft Product

To publish a draft, first get back under your Product limit. Upgrade to a plan with a higher Product limit, or delete another Product. The draft doesn't publish on its own.

  2. In the This product is ready to be published! banner, click Publish product.

After you publish it, you can attach the Product to an Offer.
