If not, creating a draft in the community is also completely reliable and allows you to make the right format for your blog post (including image files and text formats) and helps you work on your draft whenever you are logged in.

3. Crafting a compelling success story: 

Here are few tips to get you started: 

1. Title: Be creative and make your title stand out. The title should clearly represent your story. 
2. Content: Provide enough context for the readers to understand your successes and challenges. Describe your problem and how SAP Signavio provided the solution for you. Remember, the best blog posts are relevant, helpful, and engaging. 
3. Images and Videos: Consider including related images or graphics about your success to make your blog livelier. Unfortunately, embedding video on the blog post is not possible but as a workaround, you can simply link your video if it is situated on a third-party website (For example: YouTube, Vimeo) 
4. Proofread: Before publishing, be sure to proofread your blog for any typographical errors.
