# How to discard a draft avatar in the Ivy Avatar Builder

If you make changes to an avatar's persona and decide not to keep them, you don't need to manually undo anything. Leaving the page without publishing discards your changes automatically. In this article, you will learn what happens when you discard a draft and what to expect afterward.

#### Step-by-step guide

<div style={{ position:"relative",paddingBottom:"calc(54.02777777777777% + 41px)",height:0,width:"600px",margin:"0 auto" }}>
  <iframe src="https://demo.arcade.software/MIuWDgQybRxP1r285UwE?embed&embed_mobile=tab&embed_desktop=inline&show_copy_link=true" title="Discard a draft avatar in the Ivy Avatar Builder" frameBorder="0" loading="lazy" webkitAllowFullScreen mozAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen allow="clipboard-write" style={{ position:"absolute",top:0,left:0,width:"100%",height:"100%",colorScheme:"light" }} />
</div>

1. Open an avatar's profile and make your edits, for example, using **Advanced Mode** to update the name, About section, or other details.
2. Instead of clicking **Publish**, click **Go back** to leave the profile screen.
3. Your changes are not saved. If the avatar was previously published, it reverts to its last published state, unaffected by the edits you made. If the avatar was never published, it does not appear on the **Avatar Dashboard** at all.

<Tip>
  **Additional Tips**

  * There is no confirmation prompt before discarding a draft. Clicking **Go back** without publishing discards your changes right away, so review your edits carefully before navigating away.
  * To keep any changes you've made, click **Publish** before leaving the profile screen.
