How to create Apple News drafts?

    I am new to Apple News, and I need to submit 3 article samples as drafts before I am allowed to publish on the platform.

    “Provide at least three sample articles that will show the Apple News team what kind of content you plan to publish.”

    However, the only option I’m seeing in the plugin is “Publish” for articles, and when I try to do this I get this message:

    There has been an error with the Apple News API: ONLY_PREVIEW_ALLOWED

    On the Apple site there is a “Draft Articles” section and it’s empty, and I don’t see an option to manually upload the .json created by the plugin. Is there a setting to send articles via the API as drafts, rather than to be published?

    I see this in the docs: “If your channel is not yet approved, you can still configure the plugin?but you will need to push articles in preview mode.” But how does one push articles in preview mode?

    OK, I see the checkbox that says “Preview Article” in the right sidebar in the editor. However after clicking publish there is a red warning error box at the top of the edit post page that just says “undefined.” Still not sure what is going on but I was able to answer my initial question. ??
