Staff conflicts are now blocked across every booking flow
StudioDock now applies one staff-availability check to claims, assignments, checkout, rescheduling, schedule blocks, and Sessions before overlapping work can be saved.
All studios
What changed
What changed
- Freelancer claims, manual assignments, public checkout, admin bookings, reschedules, staff blocks, availability, and Sessions now share the same staff-conflict rules.
- Assignments stored through add-ons, booking staff, required Sessions resources, active holds, and schedule blocks all reserve the relevant staff time.
- Concurrent assignment attempts are locked and rechecked before saving, so only one overlapping action can succeed.
- Claim screens disable unavailable staff and show a direct link to the team schedule instead of allowing an invalid assignment.
What changed
Why this matters
- A team member cannot be assigned to two overlapping bookings through different parts of StudioDock.
- Studio owners see a clear reason when an assignment is unavailable and can review the schedule immediately.
- Pro and Scale studios use the same protection across platform booking pages, with Scale custom-domain parity.
