Edit an Event

Update event details, module setup, participant setup, pricing, forms, payment methods, branding, and review settings after creation.

All articles

Edit the event when the venue changes, public wording needs work, a payment method is added, a form changes, or a draft needs its final checks. The same setup areas used during creation will reopen.

How to edit

1

Open the event

Use Events or the relevant module dashboard.

2

Choose Edit event

The event setup page opens on the available setup tabs.

3

Open the relevant tab

Use details, participants, pricing, forms, payments, branding, review, or the module-specific setup area.

4

Save the change

Use Save, Save & Exit, or the relevant module save action.

5

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 details are attached. Duplicating the event can be safer than rewriting live event information.
  • 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.

Need the rest of the event to use the same details?

Run applications, ticketing, payments, documents, transport, site plans, stage schedules and event-day work around the same event.
