Can't add new model in Printables

I am trying to add a new model to my collection. I clicked "Create" and it took me to the new model site. I filled in the information, added pix and the model STL file and then clicked "save draft". Nothing appeared to happen. When I went to "My Models" page, the new model appeared as a "draft". However, when I open the draft, it is missing the title, the summary, the description etc. It does show the pix and the model file. There is no edit button that I can find and I can't get back to the new model site. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

After you save the draft you slide the bar to PUBLISH, and publish it.

Thanks for your response, Matt. 

I have saved a draft which appears on my homepage (see below)

When I click on this draft, this is what comes up:

This looks like a preview page, however, the title, summary and description are missing. The photos and STL file do show.

I can't figure out how to get back to the create page to edit or to use the "Publish" button.

I thought it might be the browser (Brave) but it doesn't work in Safari either.

It looks as though you've lost your text somehow - that happens occasionally to me - usually if I wander off and do something else without "saving" the document - the images save because you've uploaded them, but the text sits on your machine until you actually hit a button (I think).

To open the page for editing - just click on the three little dots to the right (a compressed "hamburger" menu) and you should be good to go.

I forgot to mention that the "hamburger" dots are also on the top right of your thumbnail images - you can do directly to edit mode from there if you wish.

You have saved two drafts of the same  document - but since neither are named you probably don't have your text saved in either.  

All the best!

Thanks Peter. I discovered the problem. I had not completed the license information and there was an extra space at the end of the STL file name. Once these corrections were made, I was able to publish it.

However, there was a bit of confusion among users about whether they are “allowed” to use PrusaPrinters when they don’t have one of our 3D printers. So we started looking for a new name.
