Edit your event

Edit mode is inline on the event page. What the ••• menu controls (guest list, capacity, plus-ones, PartyPass, sharing) and what it doesn't.

Editing happens on the event page itself. There's no separate editor: you flip the page into edit mode, change things in place, and save.

Enter edit mode

  1. Open your event (from the Dashboard or the event link).
  2. As the host or co-host of an upcoming event you land in edit mode automatically; the address bar shows ?mode=edit. To switch, open the ••• button at the top of the page and tap Edit Event or Preview Event (the same button toggles).
  3. Change the title, cover image (there's an option to have AI generate a poster), date, end date, start and end time, timezone, Event Category, description, location, and emoji set right on the page. Multi-day? Use + Make this a multi-day event under the date.
  4. A Save Changes / Revert bar appears as soon as something changed. Nothing is saved until you tap Save Changes.

Changing the date, time, or location? If anyone has RSVP'd Going or Maybe, saving asks Notify N guests? Choose Save and notify to send them the change (push if they have the app, then email, then text, whichever reaches them), or Keep editing.

Past events can't be entered into edit mode. (On iPhone the ••• menu offers Confirm Attendance for past events instead.)

The ••• menu, top to bottom

  • Edit Event / Preview Event — toggles edit mode.
  • Manage Co-hosts — host only on the web. You can also open Share, tap Manage next to a mutual, and use Co-host Status → Add as Co-host / Remove Co-host (also host only). New co-hosts are told right away ([You] added you as a co-host for [event]).
  • Sign-ups — Make it a Group Effort (before publishing) or Manage sign-ups (after), and Who's signed up once the board is live. See Manage sign-ups.
  • Guest List & Capacity
    • Hide Guest List — only you and co-hosts see who RSVP'd.
    • Hide "Can't" RSVPs and Hide "Maybe" RSVPs — guests won't see those groups; you still do.
    • Max Guests — blank means no limit. Only Going RSVPs (and hosts) count toward it; Maybe doesn't. RSVPs past the cap go to the waitlist, and waitlisted guests move to Going automatically, in order, as spots free up, with a You're off the waitlist! notice. With Max Waitlist at 0, a guest who tries to RSVP Going to a full event is told it's full.
    • Max Waitlist — blank means unlimited; 0 means full is full.
    • Allow Plus-Ones and Plus-Ones Count Toward Max. Turning plus-ones off stops new ones; existing plus-ones stay.
  • PartyPass Settings — for events using PartyPass NFC tags: Require PartyPass Tap to RSVP, an RSVP Time Limit after a tap, Use PartyPass for Check-in, Location Check-in (needs a mappable address), Check-in Opens, Allow Walk-ins, and device assignment. Ignore this section if you don't have PartyPass devices.
  • Event Options — Sharable (whether guests can pass the invite on), and Pet Friendly, Child Friendly, Alcohol Friendly, each Yes / No / Hide.
  • Help with these options — opens this article.
  • Delete Event — host only, permanent, with a confirmation. Going and Maybe guests get a cancellation notice ([Event] on [date] has been cancelled) by push, email, or text; waitlisted and Can't guests aren't messaged, and volunteers get the cancellation rather than a separate sign-up notice. RSVPs are removed and synced Google Calendar entries are renamed 🚫 [CANCELLED].

Guest List, PartyPass, and Edit disappear from the menu once the event date has passed.

Things this menu does not have

  • There is no "turn RSVPs off" switch. If you need to stop new RSVPs, set Max Guests to the number you already have (and Max Waitlist to 0), or delete the event. Requiring a PartyPass tap is the only other gate, and it's meant for NFC-tag events.
  • There is no "Signup Settings" item. Everything about the board lives under Manage sign-ups.
  • There is no separate editor page. Edit Event edits in place.
  • No duplicate, and no cancel for a standalone event. Cancelling exists for series only: one date (Cancel this event) or the whole series (Cancel All Events), from the series page. Standalone events are deleted.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I change the date or time after guests have RSVP'd?
Open the event, tap Edit Event in the ••• menu, change the date or time in place, and tap Save Changes. Luau asks Notify N guests? and, if you choose Save and notify, tells everyone who RSVP'd Going or Maybe by push, email, or text.
Is there a way to close or turn off RSVPs?
There's no RSVP on/off switch. Set Max Guests to the number you already have (and Max Waitlist to 0) under Guest List & Capacity, or delete the event.
Can I hide who's coming?
Yes. Hide Guest List hides the whole list from guests; Hide "Can't" RSVPs and Hide "Maybe" RSVPs hide just those groups. You and your co-hosts still see everyone.
Can co-hosts edit the event?
Yes. Co-hosts can edit the event, manage sign-ups, see the roster and check-ins, RSVP mutuals, and (on iPhone) add other co-hosts. Only the host can remove someone else as co-host or delete the event, though a co-host can step down themself on iPhone; PartyPass and friendliness settings are host-only there too. Co-hosts get the same sign-up pings, digests, and recaps as the host.
Can I edit an event after it's over?
No. Past events can't enter edit mode. On iPhone the ••• menu offers Confirm Attendance for past events instead.
How do I cancel an event?
A standalone event is deleted from the ••• menu (Delete Event, with a confirmation); Going and Maybe guests get a cancellation notice and their calendar entries are marked cancelled. One date of a series is cancelled from the series page with Cancel this event; the whole series with Cancel All Events. Either way Going and Maybe guests are told by push, email, or text (The [day] session is off — the rest of the schedule still stands, or Cancelled: the [series] has been called off. N events removed) and the affected calendar entries are cancelled. Reach the series page from the series link on any of its event pages.
Where did the Next Steps cards go?
On the web they show only in edit mode and only to the host. Everything they open is also in the ••• menu, so tap Edit Event or use the menu.
