When your event is over, or you need to take it offline, you have two options in the Eventify admin panel. Archive hides the event and stops registration, and you can make it public again later. Purge and Delete Event removes the event and all its data for good.
An event doesn't close by itself when its end date passes. It moves to the Past Events tab on the All Events screen, and stays as it is until you archive or delete it.

While the event is archived, a banner at the top of the admin panel says "This event is currently archived and not visible anywhere. Registration, ticketing, and related features are currently disabled." You and your team can still open the event, view its data and export reports.
The event shows in app searches and listings again, and registration and ticketing work as you set them up.
Deleting an event can't be undone. All the event's data is deleted and you lose access to it. Export anything you want to keep first.
Before you delete, export what you need:

The event is removed from your events list. You can only delete events that belong to your own account. If you see "You don't have the required permissions to delete this event.", ask the account owner to delete it.
Can I get a deleted event back?
No. Deleting is permanent. If you might need the event again, archive it instead, or clone it before you delete it.
Does archiving an event delete my attendees or reports?
No. Archiving only hides the event and turns off registration and ticketing. All the data stays, and you can make the event public again at any time.
I want to run the event again next year. Should I delete this one?
Clone it first, then archive or delete the old event. See How to Duplicate an Event in Eventify.
Does deleting an event give me an event back on my plan?
Deleting removes the event from your account's list of events. Contact Eventify support if you need to check how many events you have left on your plan.
