I. Meeting Saved, Not Published

When a meeting is created and saved (please refer to Related Articles for additional information on creating a meeting), that meeting is not published. It can only be viewed as follows:

In Boardable via the Upcoming Unpublished tab on the Meetings list page or via the specific date on the Calendar
and ONLY...
By the Meeting Owner (the person who created it) and Organization Admins

The following banner will also appear at the top of the meeting page until the meeting is published.

II. Publish to Calendar Only

Publish to calendar only can be thought of as 'save the date'. By utilizing this option, the meeting invite is quickly sent out and added to members' calendars. This allows the meeting organizer more time to complete the agenda and add documents prior to fully publishing the meeting. Once the meeting is fully published, all invited members can access the agenda and other meeting information.

When using Find a Date, publishing to the calendar is crucial in order for invitees to provide feedback on best date / time options. Please refer to Related Articles for additional information.

If the meeting is published to calendar only, the Meeting Members and Meeting Observers can only do the following:

View meeting page - only showing date and time of meeting and Comments section
RSVP and update their own RSVP
Add comments and view other comments

Note: guests will only have the details from the initial notification once published to calendar.
