Set a Merge Request to Draft State

Apply Draft state to a merge request to indicate that it is not ready to be merged and to apply specific behavior changes to the merge request.

When a merge request is in Draft state, its merge action is blocked, notifications to reviewers are paused, and linked builds are prevented from automatically running.

You can create a merge request in Draft state by either toggling the Draft button in the New Merge Request form’s Description field or by prepending the keyword "[Draft]" to the Description field’s summary.

In existing merge requests, you can switch between Open and Draft states by clicking the Draft button next to the merge request. The merge request's badge changes from Open to Draft to indicate that the merge request is not ready for review.
