Edit a Venue
Keep your venue's information accurate and up to date so event-goers can find it easily on the map and in search.
How to open the edit screen
- Open the venue page (search for it, or find it via Settings → Manage Entities).
- Tap the ⋯ menu in the top bar.
- Choose Edit.
Edit only appears in that menu if you have Manager or Admin rights on this page. The menu's other item, Report a mistake, is there for everyone.
The edit screen's top bar
Three icons sit in the edit screen's top bar, and the primary action sits at the bottom:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Manage access (shield-with-plus icon) | Invite team members and set their permission level. |
| Notifications (bell icon) | Follow-notification settings for this page. |
| Delete (bin icon) | Delete the page. Hidden entirely if you are not allowed to. |
| Save changes (bottom bar) | Saves the form. It disappears instead of greying out when you only have read access. |
