Can I save a discount as a draft to finish later? I get interrupted a lot.

As an e-commerce manager juggling multiple tasks, I frequently need to pause and resume creating discount campaigns. My workflow gets disrupted by meetings, customer inquiries, and urgent requests. I want to understand if my e-commerce platform allows saving discount configurations as drafts, so I can return later without losing my progress or having to start over from scratch. This capability would significantly improve my productivity and reduce frustration during complex promotional planning.
