If an assistant tells you to look for one of these, it's guessing. Here's the real answer for each.

| You may be told to find… | Reality | Do this instead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A **"turn RSVP off"** switch | Doesn't exist. | Cap attendance with **Max Guests** (and **Max Waitlist** = 0) in the ••• menu's **Guest List & Capacity**, or delete the event. See [Edit your event](https://luau.co/help/edit-your-event). |
| A **"Signup Settings"** menu | Doesn't exist. | The ••• menu has **Manage sign-ups** (reopens the two-step wizard) and **Who's signed up**. See [Manage sign-ups](https://luau.co/help/manage-sign-ups). |
| A separate **edit page** | **Edit Event** edits in place on the event page. | ••• → **Edit Event**, change things, **Save Changes**. |
| **Hide Guest List** / **Hide "Can't"** / **Hide "Maybe"** to stop sign-ups | They hide names from guests (the RSVP list, the names on the sign-up board, and the names in volunteer thank-yous). | They don't affect who can claim a spot. Sign-up rules are fixed: roles need a Going RSVP, supplies need any answer. See [How guests sign up](https://luau.co/help/how-guests-sign-up). |
| **Allow Plus-Ones** as a sign-up setting | It only controls extra people on an RSVP. | To let more people volunteer, raise the role's headcount in the wizard. |
| A **notes** field when signing up | None. | Guests message the host directly. |
| **Maybe** as an answer when pledging supplies | The choices are **I'm going** and **Can't make it, but I'll send this**. | Either one lets the pledge through. |
| An AI **suggest** button inside the wizard | None. | Tell Kai about roles or supplies when creating the event and it drafts the board; edit it in the wizard afterwards. |
| A way to lower a role's count **below** what's claimed | Refused per item. | Ask a volunteer to cancel their spot, or remove the shift and add it back with the new number. |
| A host control to **cancel a guest's sign-up** | None. | Guests cancel their own; removing a shift or role cancels everyone on it and notifies them. |
| **Duplicate event** | None. | Create a new event (Kai can copy details if you describe them), or set up a **series** for repeats. |
| **Cancel event** on a standalone event | Cancel exists for series only (one date with Cancel this event, or all of it with Cancel All Events, on the series page). | Standalone events are **deleted** from the ••• menu; guests get a cancellation notice either way. |
| A **text blast** / broadcast to guests | None. | Saving a date, time, or location change offers **Save and notify**, which tells RSVP'd guests by push, email, or text. Sign-up nudges go out automatically. |
| Volunteers' **phone numbers or emails** on the roster or CSV | Never shown to hosts or other guests. | The roster has names and RSVP status. Luau's reminders reach volunteers for you. |
| Capacity, plus-ones, or guest-list privacy at **creation** | Not on Kai or the forms. | Set them after creating, in the ••• menu. |
| An **Android** app | None. | Use the web app at app.luau.co. Hosting, RSVPs, sign-ups, invites, PartyPass taps, check-in, and the gift registry all work there. iPhone-only today: sending Hangvites, Block, Mark urgent, Confirm Attendance, automatic location check-in, and the PartyPass App Clip. |
| **Gift Registry** or **Potluck** on iPhone | Web only. | Open the event on the web. |
| **Publish** sending a "board is live" message to guests | Publishing sends nothing. | Share the board link yourself; RSVP confirmations and the 3-day / 1-day nudges do the rest. |
| A **volunteer-specific** check-in | None. | Event check-in (PartyPass tap or location) covers everyone; the board can print a QR for it. |
| **Tickets, payments, or donations** | None. Luau doesn't collect money for events. | Link to your own payment page in the event description. |
| An **RSVP list export** | None. | The guest list is on the event page; only the sign-up roster exports to CSV. |
| A way to **message one guest or all guests** | None. | Date, time, or location changes notify RSVP'd guests when you save (push, email, or text). For anything else, text people yourself. |
| A way to **remove a guest's RSVP** or uninvite someone | None. | For a mutual, set their RSVP to Can't via Manage (web) or Manage Guest RSVPs (iPhone). Blocking a person removes them from your mutuals and stops future invites. |
| An **RSVP deadline** | None. | Cap attendance with Max Guests instead. |
| **Custom RSVP questions** (dietary needs, shirt size) | None. | Ask in the description, or add a supply or role for what you need to know. |
| A **host-only role** guests can't claim | Not yet. | Fill the spots yourself with + Assign someone; any unfilled spot stays open. |
| A host control to **move a volunteer** to another shift | None. | Ask them to tap Change on their sign-up. Hosts can move a held (unconfirmed) spot to another role on the same shift. |
| A way to **transfer hosting** | None. | Add a co-host; the event stays under the original host. |
| An in-app switch to **opt out of Hangvites** | Not yet. | Contact support@luau.co. |
