# Link to draft post?

 * Hi folks, what’s the recommended method for content editors to get back to their“
   rewrite and republish” draft if they save a draft, stop working, and then want
   to come back to it later?
 * Is there some sort of link from the original, live post to the “rewrite and republish”
   draft post?
 * As a workaround, I’ve figured that people can bookmark their draft post while
   they’re editing it, if they remember to do this.
 * Or they can search for the draft post from within the list of posts. However,
   these options take people out of their normal workflow, and in the latter case,
   can add a bunch of extra steps.
 * For comparison, if a person wants to edit an Autosave draft, they simply edit
   the live post, and click the option to work on the draft. Is there a similar,
   easy way to get back to rewrite and publish drafts?

 * Hi Joe,
 * When you click on the ‘rewrite & republish’ function, it will create a separate
   draft in the posts overview page with the wording (**— Draft, Rewrite & Republish
   of xxxx**), and you will be taken to edit that draft right away.
 * If you go back to the posts overview page click on ‘edit’ on the original post,
   there should be a notice that would display the following text:
 * A duplicate of this post was made. Please note that any changes you make to this
   post will be replaced when the duplicated version is republished.
 * However, there isn’t a link from the original post to the rewrite & republish
   draft post. You’ll have to search for it in the posts overview page to go back
   and edit the draft.
