**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 7.1.0  
My PHP version is: 8.3.21  
My Database type and version is: 10.11.11-MariaDB with mysql 15.1

**Your problem**  
I wanted to use the new draft Feature of Mautic and from user perspective I am very confused.  
As an Integrator I found the following: I Saved an email as a draft und made change to the email content. Now there are to scenarios, either I save via the tick in the Builder or click on the cross and save via “Save & Quit”. In the first case the email got saved in the email entry in the table “emails” of the database so the next email sent is edited, but in the second case the email got saved in the table “email\_draft” so the next email sent is not edited. As a User I would expect that both ways act the same.
