When a Hugo content file contains:

title: "My New Blog Post"
date: 2026-10-27
draft: true

Hugo treats the content as unpublished. Running a standard build hugo will exclude all draft content from the generated site. This behavior is intentional and helps prevent unfinished articles from being published accidentally.

To preview, hugo server -D. The -D (or –buildDrafts) flag tells Hugo to include draft content during local development.
