Manage and Schedule Journal Drafts in Studio
Journal drafts are joining the party in the Studio! Previously, unfinished drafts of journals could only be found in the Posts tab on your Profile, but with this and a few other quality-of-life improvements, Studio is the one-stop place to manage needs of both your visual and written deviation drafts!
Manage Journal Drafts
In the Drafts section of your Studio, navigate to the "Journals" tab at the top, right next to "Media" and "Literature," and make any edits you need. Journal drafts are still available in their previous home in Profile > Posts > and selecting "Drafts" from the dropdown.
Schedule Journals
As with other types of content, you can now schedule journal drafts through your Studio. Simply go to Drafts > Journals > Click the “...” on the far right of the draft > Select "Schedule," and set your preferred publish time. You can also bulk schedule by checking the boxes to the left of each item and selecting from the "Edit" menu.

2025 Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives by team, journal
2025 Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives
Focus on what you love: creating art
Exclusives are a way to easily and securely sell adoptables and other one-of-a-kind creations using an automated system to efficiently streamline the sales process, offering more time for your art.
Unlike offerings like premium downloads, which can have many buyers for the same work of art, exclusives are sold directly to one buyer who then becomes the exclusive owner.
Exclusives are often referred to as "adoptables" (detailed character designs or accessories), but they can also be one-of-a-kind works of digital art, photography, 3D art, and so much more!
Try out the feature to see how you can reach more supporters and build your brand, joining creators who love the easy selling process.

Keep the earnings coming with resale
The resale feature extends the reach of your art without any additional work on your part.
If you've enabled the Resale
A few small updates are being made to improve image display options and simplify navigation.
Bulk edit watermark and image size settingsThe “Edit Watermark” option for bulk changes is now “Edit display options." This updated screen now lets you select image size in addition to watermark preferences, similar to how display options work in presets.
Scheduled submissions
The Scheduled page has moved from the left navigation to the 4th tab in Drafts. (On mobile, it remains in the top navigation.)
These changes help you streamline image submission and better organize your Studio for future updates.

Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have.

Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.
