# Promote Harbor Context Draft

POST https://app.polytomic.com/api/harbors/{harbor_id}/contexts/{context_id}/draft/promote

Promotes the draft to the next immutable published context version.

Promotion publishes the draft's exact title, description, content, and optional
change note as the next version. An unpublished context's initial draft becomes
version 1. The draft is removed after publication.

Promotion returns a conflict when the current published revision differs from
the draft's `base_revision_id`. The stale draft remains available so an author
can compare it with the current version before discarding and recreating it.
