Review & decide
Decisions are two steps on purpose: stage them all, read the list once, then send.
Open Submissions. The tabs across the top are the whole pipeline — All, Accepted, Accept Queue, Pending, Decline Queue, Declined, Withdrawn, Drafts.

Search, plus track and status filters, sit above the table. Click a row to read the whole thing: the abstract, every answer, the speakers, uploaded files and any evaluator scores.

Set the status to Accept Queue or Decline Queue. Nothing is emailed yet — the speaker sees no change at all.

Tick several rows to stage them in one go. A banner counts what is staged. Read the queue one last time — this is the only moment it costs nothing to change your mind.
“Review the queue” filters the table down to exactly what is about to go out.
Press “Send acceptances” (or “Send declines”) and confirm.

The dialog counts what is going out. Accepted speakers also get their onboarding tasks created. At a real event this table is hundreds of rows deep — the same tabs, the same two-step decision.

A different, much larger event — so you can see how the pipeline reads at scale.
