Draft gigs
A draft gig isn’t live yet. Because a draft doesn’t send invitations or notifications on its own, it’s the safe place to work while details are still moving. Use a draft when:- Date, time, or venue aren’t confirmed
- You created the gig from a template and want to review what copied over
- Crew, pay, tasks, or setlists aren’t ready
- You don’t want anything reaching the team yet
The create-gig form makes an Active gig. Draft gigs come primarily from templates and from plans built from a brief. Using a template creates a new draft for you to review before publishing. A draft created from a plan also lists the decisions you left open, on its Overview, until you resolve or dismiss them.
Publish a gig
1
Open the draft
Review its details, team, tasks, and payments.
2
Set it to Active
From the status pill in the gig header, choose Set to Active.
3
Confirm
Publishing sends invites and notifies your team, so Soundcheck confirms first. It’s a one-way step. An active gig can’t return to Draft.
Staffing an active gig
Once a gig is Active, staff it from the Team section: Build team → Manage Team → add people and positions → Continue → Review & send invites → Save & Send. Full detail is in building teams.Publishing a draft gig to Active does not, by itself, send every possible notification. Use Save & Send from Manage Team when you are ready for crew to receive invitations.
