Is Medium’s draft link the same as its published post?

If it’s the same, then when you write a series of linked Medium posts, you can use the draft link and the links will still work after the posts are published. This post is an experiment to know that.

Answer

Yep. Both links are the same. You can use the draft link to access the story once it’s published.

Note

If you’re planning to put your posts in a publication, you might want to add your draft to the publication first before using the draft link.
