Share private preview links to your unpublished drafts for streamlined collaboration and feedback.

== Description ==

**Do you need feedback on your blog posts before hitting "Publish"?**  
Share a Draft Improved lets you easily share a private preview link to any of your unpublished WordPress posts or pages. Instead of copying and pasting your draft’s text elsewhere or creating accounts for collaborators, simply generate a time-limited, unique URL and send it directly to your colleagues, clients, or friends. They can read the draft as if it were a published post, without needing access to your WordPress admin area.
Based on the original shareadraft plugin from the 2010s. 

**Key Features:**  
- **Secure & Private:** Only those with the secret link can view the draft.  
- **Time-Limited Access:** Grant access for minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Once time’s up, the link automatically expires.  
- **User-Friendly Interface:** Manage all your shared drafts from a single dashboard page. Quickly extend or cancel access at any time.  
- **Seamless Collaboration:** Get reviews, approvals, and suggestions from your team or audience before publishing.  

**Why use Share a Draft Improved?**  
- **Collaborate with Confidence:** Keep your content secure while gathering feedback from external reviewers.  
- **Streamline Your Workflow:** No need for extra logins or Word docs—just send a link.  
- **Professional Polish:** Ensure your content is perfect before it goes live by involving others in the editing process.

A: Yes, anyone with the unique URL can view the draft, so treat it like a secret key. You can revoke access at any time.

**Q: Can I extend the expiration time of a shared draft?**  
A: Absolutely. Go to the Share a Draft dashboard to quickly extend the timeframe or revoke access.

**Q: Does this affect published posts?**
