- A free event holds up to 10 recordings. The tile Recordings of the Guestbook tab counts them and reads Almost full and Free limit reached like the tiles of the Media tab. At the limit guests can still write; an upgrade lifts it, see Upgrade an event and manage billing.
- Deleting an entry deletes its recording; deleting the event deletes the guestbook.
