Event Lifecycle

Every event moves through four stages, and you control each transition:

• Draft. No public page yet. Build the sheet at your own pace; nothing is visible until you publish.
• Published. The link is live and collecting signups. You can unpublish at any time to take the page down without losing anything.
• Closed. Signups are locked but the page stays up. Closing also unlocks the recap tools.
• Archived. The event becomes read only and stops counting toward your 10 active events. Unarchive whenever you need it back.

Your event dashboard shows contextual banners driven by the event's state: a nudge to publish a finished draft, a heads-up when the event is today, a prompt to close a passed event, and recap reminders after that. These are the real banner components below, rendered with example states.

Two per-event settings keep everyone informed without you lifting a finger. Reminders, when enabled, email every confirmed attendee before the event with their slot details and manage link. Organizer notifications come in three modes: an email for each signup, a daily digest summarizing activity across your events, or off entirely. See Emails and Reminders for what each message looks like.

Running the same event again? Duplicate copies the whole structure, slots, settings, and wording into a fresh draft with an empty signup list. Quick send emails your event link to chosen recipients or a whole contact list the moment you publish. And members of an organization can save an event as a shared template the whole team can reuse.

Deleting permanently removes the event, its slots, and its signups. For anything you might want to reference later, archive instead: it clears the slot in your active event count while keeping the history.
