I can't publish my draft

What "Not ready to publish" means, and the two ways to fix it.

Updated November 4, 2026

Before a draft goes live, the whole draft is checked against what the event's plan allows. If it's over any limit, the top bar says Not ready to publish, and choosing Publish explains what's over.

See what's over

Choose Not ready to publish in the top bar. It opens the event's Overview at its limits, which shows what you've used of each, such as performers, sponsors and custom pages, and marks the ones that are over.

Fix it

You can do either:

  • Remove some content from the draft until it fits, such as performers or sponsors you no longer need.
  • Buy more on the Overview, to raise the limit with add-ons, or upgrade the event to a larger plan if it needs a lot more. Either applies to the event straight away.

Some things are features rather than counts: custom pages, and sponsors at the top of the app's pages (page sponsorships). A draft that uses one the event doesn't have can't be published until you add it with Buy more or take it out of the draft.

The event is locked

If the top bar shows Locked or Suspended, the event can't be changed or published. Contact FestiFox support.
