How do I update invitation details?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Update details. Five steps hold everything you filled in: Essentials, Functions, Details, Photos, and Pages & alerts. Change any of them, choose Save, and on a published invitation choose Publish changes to show them to guests.
Update invitation details is the same form you filled in when you created the invitation, opened again with everything you typed. For moving things around the page itself, the invitation studio is the tool; for changing what the invitation says, this page is.
Open it
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard.
- 2Choose Update details in the header, or Update details in the invitation's sidebar.
Only the owner and editors can open it. A viewer sees "Only editors can change the event details."
The five steps
- Essentials: the title, the date and time, the time zone, the venue, and the names and words the design is built around.
- Functions (or Schedule): every function with its day, time and venue.
- Details: every page's optional lines, page by page, with the places to stay and the gift registry.
- Photos: every photo frame and gallery, shown only when the design has them.
- Pages & alerts: every page in scroll order with its switch and an Edit link, the background music, whether search engines may list the invitation, and who hears about replies.
Nothing is required here, unlike the create form: the invitation already exists, and emptying a line simply takes it off the invitation. You can open the steps in any order.
Save once for everything
Save keeps whatever changed on any step and leaves the page open; it is greyed out while nothing has changed. Save & exit saves the same way and opens the invitation's Overview. The bar at the top reads "Unsaved changes" or "All saved", and leaving the page with unsaved changes asks first.
On a published invitation a successful save asks Publish your changes? Choose Publish changes to show them to guests at once, or Not now to keep them saved for later; guests see the earlier version until you publish again. See editing after publishing.
Changing the date
Moving a published invitation's date to another day asks "Change the date?" first and says how many changes are left. Changing only the time never counts. See Can I change the date or venue after sending?.
