+#### `force_show_drafts`
+
+On some cases you want to use multiple config files or `--drafts` command line switch that won't be properly
+detected by jekyll-admin. This flag can force jekyll-admin to display the draft section in the sidebar
+even if `show_draft: true` hasn't been detected in the config file.
+
+It will only force display, not enable drafts. So be sure to have enabled drafts on jekyll.

+```yaml
+jekyll_admin:
+  force_show_drafts: true
