Editing and Deleting Events

After an event is created, you can update its details at any time or remove it when it is no longer needed. Most people work from the default list view: open the event details page, use the admin Manage menu, then edit or delete from the Edit Event dialog.

Open an Event

Go to the Events page

From your admin dashboard or main navigation, open your organization's Events page. The page defaults to list view (you can switch to calendar if you prefer).

Click the event card

Find the event in the list and click its card. That opens the event's public details page.

Use the admin Manage menu

If you can administer the event, a dark admin strip appears at the top of the page. Click Manage to open the admin menu, then choose Edit event.

Note

You need the events.edit permission to see Manage and open Edit event. Ask an organization administrator if those options are missing.

On the event details page, open Manage and choose Edit event

Editing an Event

Edit event opens the multi-step Edit Event dialog with the current settings filled in. You can jump between steps freely while editing.

Common changes include:

Basic Info — title, type, visibility, and location
Date and Time — start/end dates and times, or the daily schedule for multi-day events
Details — short description, full description, and cover image
Settings — RSVP options, capacity, eligibility, and live stream
Organizers — who can help manage the event

Make your updates

Move through the steps and change whatever you need.

Save

Click Save Changes (or Save and Close if available) in the dialog footer to apply updates.

Tip

If you change the event date and people have already registered, the dialog may ask whether to notify registrants about the date change. You can include an optional reason (for example, venue availability) before sending.

Deleting an Event

Deleting removes the event from calendars, lists, and public pages. Use this when an event was created by mistake or will not happen at all.

Warning

Deleting an event cannot be undone from the product. Double-check that you have the right event before confirming.

Open Edit Event

From the event details page, open Manage → Edit event (see Open an Event above).

Click Delete Event in the dialog footer

At the bottom of the Edit Event dialog, click Delete Event (shown as Delete on smaller screens). It sits in the footer with the other form actions.

Confirm

A browser confirmation asks: Are you sure you want to delete this event? This action cannot be undone. Choose OK to proceed. When the delete succeeds, the event is removed and the dialog closes.

Note

You need the events.delete permission to remove an event. Contact an administrator if Delete Event is missing from the dialog footer.

What Happens When You Delete

The event is removed from calendars, event lists, and public pages.
Official community feed posts that linked to the event are retracted so the feed does not advertise a deleted event.
Associated registration and related records are kept for integrity, but the event is no longer available for new activity.

Tip

If you only need to hide an event from the public, consider setting Visibility to Private instead of deleting. Private events remain available to signed-in organization members.

Other Ways to Reach Edit Event

The list → details → Manage → Edit event path is the usual flow. You can also open the same dialog from:

Calendar view — switch to calendar, click a day, then click Edit on the event card in the day list (or click the card when you have edit permission).

From the calendar day list only, one-time events can also show a Delete action on the card itself. The Edit Event dialog footer still works for every event type you can edit.

Recurring Services: Cancel a Single Week

For a Recurring Service, you often need to skip one week (holiday, weather, building closure) without removing the whole series. Cancel that occurrence instead of deleting the series.

On the calendar view, open the day for that service, then on the service card choose Cancel This Occurrence (optionally add a reason). Later you can Restore Occurrence if plans change.

To change the time, name, or repeat schedule for the whole series, open Manage → Edit event from the service details page and save your updates. See Managing Recurring Services for more detail.
