The outline is simply said: Just a rough explanation, what the chapter/scene should achive. Personally, I use the outline to describe, what the chapter and the scenes should cover. It is the most basic part of the story, cause it just describes the key plot elements basically.

As example:

As you see: No emotion, no details, just the basic part of the chapter and what happens. The draft is the phase, where you start to pour details, emotion and action into your story, cause that is the part, where the actual story begins
