Publishing & sending
How do I unpublish, duplicate or delete?

In short
All three are under More on the invitation's Overview. Unpublish takes it offline at once and keeps guests, replies and payments. Duplicate makes a new draft with the same design and details but no date or guests. Delete, owner only, removes the invitation, its guests and replies for good.
Three actions change what an invitation is, rather than what it says. All three live in the More menu on the invitation's Overview.
Unpublish
Takes a live invitation back to a draft at once.
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose More, then Unpublish.
- 2The Overview reads "Invitation unpublished".
Guests opening any link now see "This invitation isn't available". Your guests, replies, settings and payments are all kept, and the invitation stops counting among your active ones. Scheduled reminders do not go out while it is unpublished. Publishing again restores the same link, and does not e-mail guests who were already e-mailed. The owner and editors can unpublish.
Duplicate
Makes a new draft from this invitation, the intended way to reuse a design for another occasion.
- 1Choose More, then Duplicate.
- 2You land on the copy's Overview, titled "<title> (copy)".
The copy keeps the design, the words you typed, the time zone, the venue, the functions, the places to stay and the registry. It does not keep the date, the guests, the replies, the messages, the album, any payments or licences, or the date-change count; its RSVP rules start fresh. The copy belongs to whoever pressed Duplicate.
A premium design is licensed per invitation, so a copy of a paid design is paid again when it is published. See paying to publish.
Delete
Removes the invitation for good. Only the owner can do it.
- 1Choose More, then Delete invitation, or open Update details and scroll to the Danger zone at the foot of the last step.
- 2Read the warning: "Deleting removes the invitation, its guest list and all RSVPs. Your contact book is kept."
- 3Choose Delete forever.
Guests who already opened the link see a not-found page. Your contact book is kept, and records of payments stay under Payments & billing as "Deleted invitation". Co-hosts can never delete.
