Use the event workspace efficiently without losing context or making accidental live changes.

Best for: Organization administrators, event producers, live operators, and authorized support staff.

Before you start

Event access and actions depend on organization role, team scope, plan entitlements, limits, and current event state.

  • Use an individual verified account in the correct organization and team.
  • Confirm the event owner, live operator, output owner, and incident authority.
  • Review the current configuration before changing an existing or live event.

Step by step

  1. Confirm header context. Read organization, event, status, current operator, and live ownership.
  2. Use the setup sidebar. Open Input & Routing, Transcription, Translation, Caption tuning, Public Program Display, ASL, Outputs & destinations, Check & status, Audit & Logs, or Glossaries.
  3. Understand autosave. Wait for saved/confirmation state before leaving or closing.
  4. Use preview. Inspect captions and output state without confusing preview with final downstream proof.
  5. Use fullscreen/new-window actions. Open the intended destination and label operator windows.
  6. Review status and statistics. Watch relevant metrics without navigating away from critical controls.
  7. Coordinate concurrent editors. Use presence/audit and communicate material changes.
  8. Exit safely. When live, follow Stop/handoff policy; when offline, confirm saves before closing.

What success looks like: The event reaches the intended saved or live state, and every required operator can verify the result without receiving unnecessary access.

Check your setup

  • Operators can locate each control, distinguish saved configuration from runtime state, and keep event/ownership context visible.

Troubleshooting

Unsaved indicator persists

Check network/session, permission, validation error, and retry the single field.

Wrong section changed

Use audit/config review and restore the approved value.

Preview correct but final wrong

Inspect the actual destination/signal chain.

Security and operational notes

  • Avoid unrelated configuration work while live.
  • Do not expose operator screens publicly.
  • Keep only necessary privileged tabs open.
