Event editing reopens the same setup areas used during creation. Use it when a venue changes, wording needs improving, a payment method is added, a public form changes, or a draft event needs final checks.
How to edit
Open the event
Use Events or the relevant module dashboard.
Choose Edit event
The event setup page opens on the available setup tabs.
Open the relevant tab
Use details, participants, pricing, forms, payments, branding, review, or the module-specific setup area.
Save the change
Use Save, Save & Exit, or the relevant module save action.
Tell the right people
If the change affects applicants, participants, customers, drivers, performers, or gate staff, send a communication or update the relevant public page.
Changes to handle carefully
- Dates may be locked after participants, tickets, or other records are attached. Duplicating the event can be safer than rewriting a live record.
- Participant type changes can affect pricing, document requirements, filters, and reports.
- Payment method changes affect invoices and what participants see in the portal.
- New required documents can make existing participants non-compliant until they upload the new file.
- Ticketing status and visibility changes affect public ticket pages immediately.
When a live event changes, treat the edit and the communication as one job. A perfect update hidden in the admin area does not help someone arriving at the wrong gate.
