Give Bee badges to art that has you buzzing! by team, journal
Give Bee badges to art that has you buzzing!
When you find a deviation or comment that’s buzz-worthy during the month of May, give it a limited-time Bee badge!
If you give 20 badges before the end of the month, you’ll also get a Sweet as Honey badge for your profile!
How to give the Bee badge:
It’s easy to award Bee badges to deviations and comments! Just click the icon beneath the deviation or comment, select the Bee badge from the modal, and click “Award Badge.”
Each badge costs 1 gem, so everyone can spread the love!

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.

Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have.
