BuildDrafts	Reports whether the current build includes draft pages.			related returnType signatures bool SITE.BuildDrafts

By default, draft pages are not published when building a site. You can change this behavior with a command line flag:

hugo --buildDrafts

Or by setting buildDrafts to true in your site configuration:

{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}} buildDrafts = true {{< /code-toggle >}}

Use the BuildDrafts method on a Site object to determine the current configuration:

{{ .Site.BuildDrafts }} → true
