# Set a shift to Draft mode while waiting for info

If you do not have all the information that you need to define a shift, you can set the shift to Draft mode. Later, when all the information is available, you can publish the shift so you can add it to a schedule.

## Before you begin

Role required: rota\_manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **On-Call Scheduling** > **My Group Schedules**.

2.  Select the shift that will include the group.

3.  On the **Shift** dialog box, click **Move to Draft**.

    A message confirms that the rotation schedule is updated for the shift that you moved to a draft mode.
