Description
Simpli Draft Copier gives editors a quick draft copying workflow for posts and pages. Use the Copy as Draft action in a list row or the bulk actions menu. The classic editor also has a Copy as Draft link in the publish box. Each copy belongs to the current user and stays unpublished for review.
The draft receives the source title, content, excerpt, parent, menu order, discussion settings, password, taxonomy terms, and custom fields. Editor locks and WordPress trash or old-slug metadata are skipped. The original item is not changed.
No settings or external service are required. Actions are shown only to users who can edit the source and create a new item of that type.
