Use Draft mode in Film Manager to build and review sessions without making them visible. When the schedule is final, convert the sessions to Planned and save to publish them.
Before you begin
- Access to Film Manager
- Sessions to create or update
Draft sessions are not visible until they are changed to Planned and saved. Always confirm session status before saving to avoid publishing incomplete schedules. Confirm any status change prompt carefully, as this action makes sessions visible to cinema managers once saved.
