Is there any draft system for Single Types in strapi?

Question

I wanted to save draft in strapi for single types without publishing it. Right now if i save the changes it will be published directly. I tried using a boolean - published, and show the data on frontend app when published is true. This way if the published bool is false whole single page data will not be shown. I want it so that previous data is still there but not the new unpublished data.

Is there any way to make this achievable?

Since you've mentioned it, why not add an is_draft boolean type to your strapi model and use that as a shadow crud filter when querying the rest api or graphql endpoint?

If you want to prevent strapi from returning draft records, you can also override the controller find function.

// api/article/controllers/article.js

const { sanitizeEntity } = require('strapi-utils');

module.exports = {

  /**
   * Retrieve records.
   *
   * @return {Array}
   */

  async find(ctx) {
    let entities;
    ctx.query.is_draft = typeof ctx.query.is_draft === 'boolean' ? ctx.query.is_draft || false; // return published by default, or the explicitly specified is_draft filter.
    if (ctx.query._q) {
      entities = await strapi.services.article.search(ctx.query);
    } else {
      entities = await strapi.services.article.find(ctx.query);
    }

    return entities.map(entity => sanitizeEntity(entity, { model: strapi.models.article }));
  },
};
