# SMS - Save as Draft vs Send for Approval

> Understand the SMS template lifecycle in Fyno, including draft creation, DLT submission, approval workflows, status tracking, and template readiness for messaging.

## Save as Draft

* Stores the template only in Fyno.
* Fully editable.
* Not sent to DLT.
* Cannot be used for messaging.
* Use this when the content is still under review.

## Submit for Approval (Send to Provider)

* Submits the template to the selected DLT integration.
* Locks the template for editing during review.
* Approval status is updated after sync.
* Once approved, the template becomes available for sending SMS.
