# Drafts to prepare an envelope

Drafts let you prepare an envelope ahead of time without sending it right away. You can start creating an envelope, save your progress, and come back later to finish and send it. This helps you plan, edit, or gather information before the envelope goes out for signatures.

## Start an envelope and save it for later

You can fill in as much information as you want—signers, documents, settings, messages—and save it as a draft. Nothing is sent to the signers until you choose to send it.
