Feature Request: "Send Invitation" Toggle for Events

I am writing to request a critical "Quality of Life" update for the Activities module. Currently, adding people to the Participants field in an Event triggers an automatic email invitation/acceptance tracking with no way to opt-out.

For general events involving multiple contacts where I only need to log history internally, I am forced into "terrible" workarounds like creating fake Deals or using Notes, which don't properly link to Contact histories.

Please add a simple "Send/Do Not Send" checkbox when saving an Event, similar to the functionality found in the full Zoho CRM. Users need the ability to show who was present without automatically emailing them

                                                                                                                  I realized that during my March bank reconciliation, I chose the wrong check to reconcile (they were for the same amount on the same date, I just chose the wrong check to reconcile). So now, the incorrect check is showing as un-reconciled. Is there any way I can edit a previous reconciliation (this is 7 months ago) so I can adjust the check that was reconciled? The amounts are exactly the same and it won't change my ending balance.
