What's new.

Booking links have always assumed the thing being booked was a recording. Every confirmed booking created a draft episode, a guest portal and a prep checklist, which is right when you are booking a guest onto a show and unhelpful when you are not.

A booking link now has a mode. Episode booking is the default and behaves exactly as it always has, so nothing about your existing links changes. General booking schedules the meeting and stops there.

A general booking does not:

• create a draft episode in your queue
• give the person a guest portal, prep questions or show notes
• use up one of the episodes included in your plan

That last one is the difference if you take a lot of calls. Sales conversations, pre-interviews, coaching sessions and intro chats now cost you a slot in your calendar rather than an episode.

The wording follows the mode as well, so a general booking asks to schedule a meeting rather than a recording, in the form the guest fills in, the confirmation email and the calendar invite.

There are two ways a guest ends up on an episode. They either book themselves in through a booking link, or you add them to the episode directly. Those two routes had drifted apart, and the second had quietly become the poor relation: an invite sent from an episode could arrive addressed to nobody, without a working link into the guest portal, or missing the episode card entirely, so the guest had no idea which recording it referred to.

They had grown separate email paths and only the booking one was being kept up to date. Both now share a single path, so an invite is an invite wherever it was sent from, and anything added to it later lands in both.

If you invited someone recently and never heard back, it is worth checking whether what they received was usable. Sending again will give them the full invitation.

Show notes are split into three sections, and who can see each one is the whole point of them:

• Shared is visible to everyone on the episode, guests included
• Host only is for you and your team
• Guest private is the guest's own space

With two people in the notes at once, the coloured cursor showing where someone was typing could appear in a section they were not actually in. Someone drafting in Host only could show a cursor sitting in Shared, where a guest would see it.

To be exact about what this was: no private text was ever visible to anyone. The sections stayed separate throughout and only the cursor position crossed between them. It was still wrong, and it made private drafting feel anything but private.

Cursors now belong to the section that owns them, clear when you click away, and are only sent while you are actually working in that section.
