Publish a booking-policy version

Steps

1. Read the current version number and location.
2. Review every numeric value and switch, including settings you did not intend to change.
3. Review the guest-facing policy text.
4. Choose Publish new version once.
5. Wait for the new version number and success message.

What each setting controls

Confirmation mode selects instant or manual confirmation. Minimum notice limits how soon a guest may book. Advance window limits how far ahead they may book. Slot increment controls the start-time interval.

Cancellation and reschedule deadlines are stored in minutes. Same-day booking, customer notes, named-staff choice, any-professional choice, and waitlist enrollment are independent switches.

Review guest-facing copy

Pay-at-location and cancellation text appears in the public policy snapshot guests review. Write it as a direct instruction. Do not imply that ilinara collects a deposit or appointment payment; the current public journey is pay at the salon.

Each publication creates a version

Publishing creates a new immutable version. Existing public availability and review screens carry the exact policy version they received. They do not silently adopt changed terms during submission.

When a guest already has an older version

If the policy changes before confirmation, the public booking flow returns the guest to availability and requires a fresh review. It does not silently submit under new terms.

If it does not work

• If publication fails, keep the current values visible, verify the location and inputs, then retry once.
• If a guest already holds an older policy version, let the booking journey reload current availability and require a fresh review.
