Load the approved state
Import a strict roster, define named tables, and freeze the version that went to review or print.
Late-change production control
Change the seat. Not every file.
Compare today’s guest assignments with an approved print proof, see exactly which cards and table sheets changed, and create a passive production packet without uploading a guest list or opening an account.
Roster editing, proof snapshots, selective reprint comparison and full checkpoints stay free. Premium adds clean print output, production packets and complete CSV registers. Prices come from the provider at checkout.
The narrow job
After the plan. Before the printer.
Reconcile the changes
Record cancellations, additions, spelling corrections, and moves. Structural checks stay separate from human placement decisions.
Reprint only what moved
Generate an affected-card set, changed table sheets, staff roster, change register, and integrity evidence.
Why this exists
A production desk, not another wedding planner.
Exact baseline
Immutable proof snapshots preserve what was previously approved.
Guest-safe separation
Staff notes and opaque service codes never appear in guest-facing files.
Offline-capable
Once cached, the workroom can reopen without a network in supported browsers.
Human decisions
Same-table and different-table reminders warn; they never move a person automatically.
Selective output
Changes identify affected guests and both the old and new tables.
Portable handoff
A fixed passive ZIP opens without this app, an account, or executable report code.
Direct answer
What does a seating revision tool do?
It compares a current guest roster and seating assignment with a frozen earlier proof. It identifies added, removed, renamed, moved, or status-changed guests; determines which guest-facing cards and table lists are affected; and prepares replacement materials plus a staff change register.
This desk does not choose seats, interpret dietary or accessibility needs, approve venue capacity, communicate with guests, or send anything to a printer. Those remain human and vendor responsibilities.
