Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/help-scout/save_docs_article_draft

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Save new text as the draft of a Docs article without changing the live article.

Help Scout API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/help-scout.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/help-scout/articles/{article_id}/docs-article-draft/save`

Access: write.

Creates the draft of the article, or updates it if one exists, as the Docs editor autosave does. The published article does not change and no reader sees the draft. Pass the whole article text, as HTML. Returns whether the article has a draft. It reaches nobody and the draft is discarded in one click, so it does not ask for your OK.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `article_id` | string | yes | Article ID from search_docs_articles. |
| `text` | string | yes | Full article text as HTML. |
