  2. Click on an event to edit it (or click the Edit link beneath the event title.)
  3. After making your changes, click Update Event.

How to Deactivate an Event

When an event is deactivated, it is no longer displayed on your site, and volunteers can no longer RSVP to it, even if the RSVP option was activated.

To deactivate an event:

  1. In the agency manager view, click Events. You'll see all of your agency's existing events displayed in a table under Manage Events.
  2. Mark the box to the left of each event you want to deactivate.
  3. Click on the "trash can" icon in the Actions row above the table.
  4. Click Yes to confirm that you are deactivating the event.

Currently, a deactivated event cannot be reactivated.
