Recover or discard a draft

Copy page ▾

A draft is work that KerfCraft saved automatically, but that you did not save by name. Drafts do not show in File ▸ Open recent. KerfCraft does not delete them, so you can recover them later.

When you open KerfCraft and drafts from an earlier session exist, a badge shows next to the File menu, for example 2 unsaved drafts. If the open project is a draft, the toolbar shows only its Draft badge.

Recover a draft#

  1. Click the unsaved drafts badge, or select File ▸ All projects….
  2. In Unsaved drafts, find the draft. Each row shows the name and when you last changed it.
  3. Click Recover (the open button) on the row of the draft.
  4. Press Ctrl+S (⌘S on a Mac) to save the draft by name.

If you do not save it by name, the recovered work stays a draft.

Discard a draft#

  1. Select File ▸ All projects….
  2. In Unsaved drafts, click Discard on the row of the draft.
  3. Click OK to confirm.

KerfCraft deletes a discarded draft permanently. You cannot undo this.

To hide the drafts badge without opening the list, click ✕ next to it.
