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 It can only be viewed in Boardable via the Unpublished tab on the Meetings list page, and only by the Meeting Owner (the person who created it) and Organization Admins.

The following banner displays at the top of the meeting page until the meeting is published.

II. Publish with Save the Date

Notes:

  • Only the following meeting roles can publish a meeting:

    • Meeting creator
