Move to Drafts

  • The recipe will be unpublished, and you can then make your desired edits. (This action may take a minute. If you wait longer, refresh your browser.)
  • Once the recipe is in Drafts, you can use the Recipe Editor Actions menu to:
    • Save Draft: If you want to complete the recipe later.
    • Submit for Approval: The recipe will be published after approval.
    • Save as Private: The recipe will only be visible to you.
    • Discard: This will permanently delete the recipe.

Save as Private

  • The recipe will be saved as private and accessible only to you through My Menu. You cannot share private recipes.
  • Private recipes can remain private indefinitely, be edited, submitted for approval, or discarded.

Discard

  • This option will permanently delete the recipe. This action cannot be undone.
