Edit event guests

Edit a guest to correct their name, change their guest count or update their custom fields. Changes are synchronized to every device that has the event open.

Note

Users can edit and delete guests they've added themselves. With the Admin permission, users can edit and delete guests added by others. Learn more about Permissions.

Steps to edit a guest

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Guests
2. Search for and select the guest (see Search and check in guests at an event)
3. Edit the guest details in the panel to the right
4. Select Save

If the new name matches a guest already in the event, the panel shows the duplicates. Select Replace next to a duplicate to replace it, or Add duplicate to keep both.

The panel also lets you share the guest's confirmation (see Guest confirmations), and shows the guest's ticket orders under Sales (see Manage orders and refunds) and their history under Log (see View event log).

Steps to move a guest to another guest list

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Guests
2. Search for and select the guest
3. Change the Guest list
4. Select Save

Warning

Check-ins are not transferred to the new guest list. The guest is shown as added by you, which may trigger auto messages (see Auto messages).

Steps to delete a guest

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Guests
2. Search for and select the guest
3. Select the trash can icon at the top of the panel
4. Select Delete to confirm

Steps to edit multiple guests at once

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Guests
2. Select the Select button (below the list)
3. Select the guests, or All for every guest matching your current search and filters
4. Select Actions and then the action:
   • Change guest count — select Set exact guest count to give every selected name the same number of guests, or Change guest count to add or remove a number of guests per name
   • Edit custom field — select the Custom field and then Set value or Clear value. Only fields shared by all the selected guests' guest lists are offered
   • Move to another guest list — select the Guest list and then Move. Check-ins are not transferred, and the moved guests are shown as added by you, which may trigger auto messages (see Auto messages)
   • Delete — select Delete to confirm

To delete every guest on a guest list, you can also delete the guest list itself (see Edit event guest lists). Deleting a guest list removes all guests in it.
