Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You have said you are using Confluence Cloud, but you have been reading documentation for Server/Data-center.

Confluence Cloud does not have a "save draft" option, as it auto-saves.

Welcome to Atlassian community @Bibek Patro !

Instead having the save draft now there is the "Close draft" option that automatically saves your page as a draft without publishing:

The result:

Obviously, the downside of this Confluence feature is that you can't work with your drafted content in the view mode (extremely important when drafting product documentation and doing extensive content changes).

Sorry, a pet peeve of mine :)

@Kristian Klima 

Yeah...maybe we can make a new request? :)

[Kristian Klima]

@Nikola Perisic Let's go for it! Two rising stars might be difficult to ignore :D 

Here's the draft, how do you suggest we procede?

I want to be able to toggle between the saved draft and the published version of a page in the View mode.

• work with drafts without editing for large-scale content revisions
• allow stakeholders without editing rights to review drafted documents
• avoid unnecessary page versions (users naturally gravitate towards the blue publishing button.

Draft is saved - and can be displayed in the Edit mode, thus it should not be complicated to display it.

@Bibek Patro If you click Save Draft/Close button (next to blue Publish/Update button) your draft will be saved but the latest changes will not be displayed in the View mode.
