Completing a draft job request
If you started a job request but did not finish it, TruePro saves your progress automatically as a Draft. This article explains why jobs end up in Draft status and how to activate them so quotes can come in.
Why is my job in Draft status?
A job request is saved as a Draft when you begin the quick-start flow but stop before completing it — for example, if you described your job and selected a category but did not confirm your address or posting preferences. TruePro saves what you entered so you do not have to start over.
Draft jobs are not visible to tradespeople. No leads are sent out and no quotes will arrive until the job is activated.
How to activate a Draft job
- Open My jobs. Draft jobs appear at the top of the list with a Draft label.
- Click on the draft job to open it.
- Review the job details. If anything needs updating, edit it now — once the job is live, some fields cannot be changed.
- Click Complete your request.
- Confirm your address and any remaining details, then submit.
As soon as you submit, the job goes live. TruePro will match it to verified pros in your area who cover your category, and you will start receiving quotes within a short time.
Can I edit a Draft before activating it?
Yes — you can edit any field in a Draft job before activating it. Once it is live, changes to the description, category, or location are restricted to avoid confusion for pros who have already started quoting.
How long do Draft jobs last?
Draft jobs are kept for 30 days. After that, they expire and are removed from your account. If your draft has expired, you will need to post a new job request from scratch.
Can I delete a Draft?
Yes. Open the draft job and click Cancel job. This permanently removes the draft. If you change your mind, you will need to post a new job request.
