Should I archive, unpublish or delete my event?

Press Settings at the top of your event's Overview (in the app, the settings mark), then End the event. In an app version before 1.3, open Manage → Settings → Ending. After the party, End the event on the Overview opens the same place. Choose the action that matches what you want.

• Archive: closes the event to new contributions while keeping its existing guest page readable to people who may access it. At an event with Awards, voting ends and guests see the winners.
• Unpublish: takes the live guest page offline and returns the event to a draft.
• Delete: moves the event to the recycle bin. In the app, a draft that was never published says Discard this event instead. It takes one press: your events list opens with Undo for a few seconds, which puts the event back as it was.

Archive and Unpublish take one press too, with Undo for a few seconds.

A draft can also be discarded from the Design room or from your events list: Discard moves it to the recycle bin in one press, with Undo for a few seconds. Before you sign in, Discard clears the draft in your browser instead, which can't be undone, so it asks you to press it twice.

Items in the recycle bin are retained for 30 days. Restore them within that window if needed.

Deleting an event for good from the recycle bin is for its host and co-hosts, and for a venue's coordinators on an event the venue hosts itself. Event staff cannot, and neither can a venue's coordinators once the event has been handed to a host outside the venue.

Unpublishing or deleting does not make a previously published event count as unused for the free-event allowance.
