Identity | Cedar and Pebble | Separate guest identities | Observed: __________ | Next decision: __________
Room access | Who can join | Check actual deployment audience and room controls | Observed: __________ | Next decision: __________
Expiry | Before and after selected time | Check whether content becomes unavailable | Observed: __________ | Next decision: __________
Cleanup | Server retention behaviour | Do not equate hidden content with immediate physical erasure | Observed: __________ | Next decision: __________

Review steps:
1. Open NOW Messenger and review whether the deployment currently grants access. Site audience is separate from messaging membership.
2. For your own test, use clearly labelled guest identities and harmless text. Verify username search and room membership rather than assuming Circle accounts carry over.
3. If using expiry, review the message before and after its selected time. Keep any essential information elsewhere; disappearing messages should not be your only record.

Decision note: This guide describes the documented current scope and a manual test method, not a newly completed chat test. Access is deployment-controlled separately. It does not promise screenshot prevention, instant physical deletion or recovery of expired content.
