Run

Choose Run to open participation. A scheduled date does not run a talk automatically.

You can run a disabled or finished talk. Running a finished talk removes its ended status; it does not clear its saved answers or feedback.

Disable

Choose Disable to stop participation without marking the talk as finished. This does not delete collected data.

You can choose Run again when you are ready.

Finish

Choose Finish to mark the session as ended and close built-in participation.

Finishing is not the same as deleting. Your owner workspace still provides access to collected results.

Generated Slidev question output changes from a live question reference to a static snapshot when the talk is finished.

Feedback timing

Inalia's built-in feedback form currently requires a running talk, even if Feedback is enabled. Keep the talk running through your feedback collection period.

A configured external feedback URL behaves differently: the short feedback link can redirect to it for a running or finished talk. See Feedback.
