Log Geocache or Create Draft

What is the difference between "Log Geocache" then "Save for Later" and just simply "Create Draft"

If you "Create a Draft" and then Submit, does it then upload to geocaching.com field notes.

Cheers

It can be confusing. The Save for Later is for *any* task (post log, create draft, add photo, etc) when there is no network available to send to Groundspeak servers. Once saved a cloud icon appears on the top bar with all saved items in the queue for editing or submitting when network is back.

Groundspeak recently added drafts after the save feature was included in Geooh. I'd use that when you want to refine logs on the computer or another device before final logging since drafts are always stored on Groundspeak servers without updating cache logs... but again, you need a network to do that so drafts can't be used like save for later (although you could use the save feature on drafts too).

Submitting a draft stores it on Groundspeak as a draft only... and they used to be called field notes.
