Make "save as draft" the default for draft posts

I often edit draft posts a few times before they're finished, and one small UX thing that I find unintuitive is that the main action in the edit modal is always "Schedule." I prefer to keep the post in a draft state until I am explicitly ready to schedule it, so for me, it would be better if the default action was "Save Draft" for posts that are already in a draft state. (I'd also be happy for a "schedule" and "save draft" button to live side by side, as I expect other folks may prefer the schedule button!) But in the current design, I find myself mindlessly clicking that green button since it's the default and the alternative that I prefer is hidden under the arrow, which means I schedule posts that I meant to remain a draft.

It now keeps the same status that your post already is.

I agree. It took me a while to see the save draft button. I use it a lot to plan out the next 2 weeks of posts, along with tags, so I can check the posts applying to different products. The save as draft button is used 4 times as many times as Schedule.

Hey Matthew,
Yeah this makes sense, I'm running out of space for 2 buttons but I think if we change it so that when it's in a draft state - it shows "Save Draft" as the default, instead of schedule it would work well, what do you think?

Tim: This sounds perfect from my point of view!!
