Edit Upcoming Events

[philly00]

Hi: What is the purpose of the Edit Upcoming feature? Would it be useful for updating an event that has the same basic info but changes dates/times on a monthly basis? Trying to avoid creating a new entry for an existing event.

Hey @Philly00,

Thanks for reaching out. The “Edit Upcoming” feature would indeed be useful for updating an event that has the same basic info but changes dates/times on a monthly basis.

Let’s say you start with a recurring event that recurs every Friday for a whole year.

Well, if you go to the instance of the event that happens on May 1st, and click “Edit Upcoming”, then the original year-long series is split into two series: one from the first event until the last event before May 1st, and one from May 1st until the end of the year.

Then you can edit each series independent of each other; so if the event was Fridays at 8pm for a while, then at May 1st this changes to be a 7pm start time instead, you can edit the start time of this second series from May 1st to the end of the year and all of the events within this series will be updated.

You could make similar adjustments every month; every week, or day even! 😉 But the point is that yes—clicking this “Edit Upcoming” link will break off the rest of the series starting at that event into its own new series. It will have the same data as the original series by default, which you can of course edits, which edits will then be propagated throughout the rest of this new series.

I hope this information helps!
George
