New Event Status — "Completed" or "Archived"

The Problem: Currently, the Experiences app mirrors Shopify’s binary product status: Active or Draft. While this works for inventory, it fails to meet the logical lifecycle of an event. Draft implies a "work in progress" or an event that has not yet occurred. Active implies the event is currently bookable. The Gap: Once an event is over, moving it to "Draft" feels counterintuitive and creates administrative clutter, as there is no way to distinguish between an event that is finished and an event that hasn't started yet. The Proposed Solution: Introduce a third status—Completed or Archived—to represent the post-event phase. This status would serve as a "Deep Freeze," allowing users to: - Preserve all historical booking data and attendee lists. - Remove the event from the live storefront/booking calendar. - Clearly distinguish past successes from future drafts in the administrative dashboard. User Value: "Naming is pretty important, as draft implies it hasn't happened yet... we run many events that are active, but then should be marked as complete or finished when the event has happened." — Experiences customer For high-volume users like galleries and workshops, accurate naming is essential for clean reporting and team communication. It prevents the accidental deletion or "reactivation" of past events. Functional Requirements: Manual Toggle: Allow users to manually switch an event from Active to "Completed." Visual Distinction: Use a distinct color/badge (e.g., Gray or Blue) in the dashboard to separate completed events from Active (Green) and Draft (Yellow). Read-Only Data: Ensure that marking an event as "Completed" does not delete the associated customer data or sales history. Suggested Labels Option A: Completed (Most descriptive for events) Option B: Archived (Standard software terminology) Option C: Past Event
