A process map draft is not yet a process map: it only becomes visible once you submit it and thereby assign it to a level of the process hierarchy. Until then, it is located on the home page under **Drafts** on the **Process Maps** tab — separate from the process drafts on the **Processes** tab.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

You are a **BPM Manager**.

## Context [#context]

A process map draft is created in Bpanda by one of the following actions:

1. On the **Process Hierarchy** page (main menu **Processes** > **Process Hierarchy**), you select the level without a process map and click **Open Process Map Editor**.

   The level is preset in the draft.
2. In the sidebar, you click **Create** and then **Process Map**, or on the **Drafts** page on the **Process Maps** tab you click **Create new draft**.

   You select the level when submitting.

A process map draft that you have started appears on the home page under **Drafts** on the **Process Maps** tab. With the **All drafts**, **My drafts** and **Shared drafts** filter, you narrow down the list — so a draft is not necessarily only yours.

## How to proceed [#how-to-proceed]

1. On the home page, under **Relevant for me**, click the **Drafts** heading.

   The page of the same name appears.
2. Switch to the **Process Maps** tab.

   Your process map drafts are displayed.
3. To create a process map draft, click **Create new draft**. (For an alternative, see point 1 above.)

   The **Process Map Editor** appears.
4. To open a draft in the **Process Map Editor**, click the name or the thumbnail of a draft.

   The draft opens in the integrated **Process Map Editor**.
5. To submit a draft, click **Submit**.

   A dialog for the assignment to a hierarchy element in the process hierarchy appears. Select the hierarchy element and confirm the submission with **Submit**.

   The draft is submitted as a process map at this level. This process map can be edited again as a draft. The **process map** still has to be linked.
6. To delete a draft, click **Delete**.

   A dialog appears. Confirm the deletion with **Delete**.
