You might have noticed a new entry in the workshop admin page named "Messages". This new feature allows you to send messages to all the participants.
This is a great way to stay in touch with your attendees and lead them through your workshop.
By default, you won't get the message but you can check the option if you want to.
The message creates a notification which can be sent as an email depending on each user settings. You can learn more about notifications in our help site.
