Am I blind or is there no way to view comment drafts? I recall this being possible in Boost for Reddit.

If I search settings for “draft” two things come up:

  1. The “Save drafts” option that I have enabled.
  2. Some “Drafts” under Lateral menu. But when I look there, there’s no “Drafts” option anywhere to be found.

      Isn’t that just drafts for that comment’s reply?

      Because I just saved a comment draft, went looking at something else and wanted to go back. The problem was that I couldn’t find the right post/comment where I saved the draft.

      I thought Boost saved that because going to reply to the same comment would automatically bring up the draft.

        That button shows the list of all drafts saved in the app.

        I thought Boost saved that because going to reply to the same comment would automatically bring up the draft.

        That’s also true. When replying to a comment that has a saved draft, it will automatically load the draft.

    I think a better option should exist without breaking the older one. I remember having nightmares to find draft button back on Reddit.

      I agree. I was completely unaware of that button and I was looking everywhere in the settings for an option to delete (accidentally) saved drafts or even clear all of them if necessary. Maybe we two are the only ones but it seems a rather unintuitive location. I understand why it’s there: to use a drafted comment several times in different threads, but the feature I was looking for was to delete a draft and it didn’t occur to me to look in the editor for such a feature.

    You can see the drafts in the comment editor, second icon on the bottom left, next to the preview. They aren’t linked to the original post/comment though, just the text.
