Editing an event
Overview
You can edit an event at any time, even after it goes live. Most edits (name, description, image, dates) take effect immediately. Some edits (deleting sponsorships with active orders) are blocked to protect existing sponsors.
Before you start
You need an org_manager or chamber_staff role
Be aware that edits to live events are visible to the public within seconds
Step-by-step
In the sidebar, click Events
Click the event you want to edit
Click Edit event in the top-right
Change any of the editable fields: name, dates, venue, descriptions, featured image, category, status, go-live date
Click Save
What you can and cannot edit
Can edit anytime: name, description, image, venue, dates, status, category
Can edit with caution: sponsorship prices (does not affect existing orders)
Cannot delete: sponsorships that have active orders — cancel orders first or just hide the sponsorship
Tips & best practices
If you change the event date, send a notification to existing sponsors — Chamberly does not auto-email them on date changes
Use the preview button to check styling before saving big description rewrites
Avoid renaming the event after orders exist — sponsors see the original name on their receipts
If you need to make extensive changes, clone the event into a draft and rebuild from there
FAQ
Will sponsors get notified about changes?
Not automatically. Use Marketing > Announcements or Notifications to alert affected sponsors.
Can I roll back an edit?
Not yet. We are adding revision history in a future update — for now, take a screenshot before big changes.
Why is the Save button greyed out?
You probably have a required field empty — check for red borders on the form.
