# Editing or deleting an event

What you can change after an event is published, and what happens when you delete an event.

Sometimes an event's details need adjusting, or the event may need to be deleted. This page explains what you can change and what happens when you delete an event.

## Editing an event

The **Edit Event** form can only be used while the event is still a **Draft** (or **Rejected** after review). While it's a Draft, you can change every detail freely.

1. Open the event you want to change from the **Events** menu.
2. Click **Edit Event** to open the event details form.
3. Edit the details you need, such as the title, description, location, or time.
4. Save your changes.

> **Main details are locked after publishing**
>
> Once the event is **Active** (published), main details like the title, poster, description, category, time, and location **can no longer be changed** through Edit Event. Make sure everything is final before you submit the event for review.

> **What you can still change once it's live**
>
> For a live event, you can still adjust **ticket types** in the **Tickets** tab: quota, sale schedule, sale status (pausing, resuming, or hiding tickets), adding new ticket types, and changing a ticket's price or type **as long as none have been sold or reserved**.

## Deleting an event

If an event isn't going ahead, you can delete it from the **Settings** tab with the **Delete Event** button. Deletion is a **soft delete**, so the data isn't permanently removed from the system.

> **Only Draft or Rejected events**
>
> Delete Event is only available for events with the **Draft** or **Rejected** status. Events that are already Active can't be deleted — contact the Nyebar team if the event has to be called off.

> **Check before deleting**
>
> Make sure no attendees or active transactions will be affected before you delete the event.
