2. Edit the event name

Use a clear name that guests recognize. The event name helps hosts find the event and can appear in guest-facing views.

3. Edit the event date

Set the correct event date. The date can affect planning, retention, and event context, so check it before checkout or printing.

4. Choose guest-page language

Select the language guests should see on the capture page and album. Reopen the guest page after saving to confirm the language.

5. Recheck the share link and QR code

Use Preview guest page and scan the QR code after major changes. Make sure the link still opens the intended event.

What to do next

  • Guests should see the updated event details the next time they open the guest page. Hosts should update any printed or shared instructions if the visible event details changed.
  • Open the public guest link after changing dashboard settings so you can verify the change from a guest perspective.
  • Tell any co-hosts what changed, especially if the setting affects QR codes, moderation, album visibility, downloads, or live wall behavior.
  • Use related troubleshooting articles if the saved dashboard state does not match the public event view.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the event name after printing?

Yes, but test the printed QR code and guest page again. The QR code should still point to the same event.

Does changing the date change the QR code?

Usually no. Test the QR code after major changes to confirm.

Can I change the guest-page language later?

Yes. Reopen the guest page after saving to confirm what guests see.

Troubleshooting

Guests still see old details

Ask them to refresh the page or reopen the QR code. An old browser tab can show stale content.

The language is wrong

Check the guest-page language in Settings and preview the guest page outside your signed-in dashboard.

The link opens the wrong event

Stop sharing that link or QR code and re-download the correct QR code from the correct event.

A dashboard change saves but the public view looks old.

Refresh the guest page, confirm the browser is opening the current event link, and check whether the public view has filters or moderation state that explain the difference.

Privacy note

Changing the event link or shared materials can affect who can access the event. Treat event links like QR codes.
