Improvements

Speaker Assignment Workflow

When adding a speaker to a presentation, their status is now automatically set to “Assigned” instead of “Draft.” This streamlines the workflow by eliminating an extra step and reduces confusion about speaker states.

Before: Add speaker → Status: Draft → Manually change to Assigned After: Add speaker → Status: Assigned (automatic)

Bug Fixes

  • Speaker Assignment Dialog: Fixed confirmation dialog behavior when assigning speakers to presentations.
