This article will show you how to modify a Calendar event.
Important Notes
- When you re-save a pending message, it should not send a notification, unless you click Save and Send. In that case, the most recent specified notification will send out.
- When editing recurring events, all fields will be overwritten on future events, not just the modified fields.
- Note: If you use CivicClerk to create calendar events for your site and need to make a change from the CivicEngage Central Calendar module, make sure you select "Single Event".
