# Discard draft

> This API discards the unpublished draft of a published article. The live content is not changed. An article that is not published cannot have its draft discarded, because the draft holds all of its content; move it to the trash instead. For CLI sessions, this needs the Modify articles permission.


> [!NOTE]
>
> Replace `{your-subdomain}` with your workspace's subdomain. \
> Learn how to find your subdomain in [Workspace subdomain](https://apidocs.neetokb.com/api/workspace-subdomain.md).
