Creator studio
To bring all the content management tools under one place for both Facebook and Instagram, Facebook introduced the Creator studio. It falls under Facebook for businesses and is an all-round tool to help you with all your content needs.
From managing all your posts and tracking their performance to checking notifications and access monetization tools, you can do everything on a single platform. What’s more? Every Facebook user with a Facebook has complete access to the studio.

Why Use Facebook Drafts?
Let us admit it! We have all had moments where we had the brightest post ideas but no time to share them with the world. Facebook drafts are one of the easiest ways to overcome situations like these. They allow you to store and organize your thoughts by offering you the chance to write or record something immediately.
What's more? You can access these drafts, edit and publish them from any kind of device that supports Facebook. Simply follow the steps mentioned above, and you can quickly work with previously saved drafts on your chosen device!
Are unpublished posts and drafts the same on Facebook?
Yes, a draft is nothing but a post that’s not yet published. These unpublished posts are usually set to be published at a scheduled time.
