Take your event from draft to published

Every event is either Draft or Published. It is one setting, and it controls whether the public can use your event site.

What each one means

Draft — you are still building. Use this for everything up to the moment you want registrations.

Published — your event site is open for business at your-event-slug.evenclo.com, and people can register.

Steps

1. On Your events, click Edit on the event.
2. Set Status to Published.

   

3. Click Save changes.

Check these first

Publishing is instant, so run through this before you flip it:

• Your registration form asks everything you need — you cannot easily go back and ask early registrants a question you forgot. See the Registration & ticketing guides.
• Your ticket types, prices and sales dates are right.
• If you are taking payment, your payment method is connected and tested.
• Your confirmation email says what you want it to say.
• You have registered yourself as a test, start to finish, and received the confirmation.

Going back to draft

You can set it back to Draft at any time. This closes the public site to new registrations.

Common problems

Published, but the page still looks unfinished. Status controls access, not content. Everything visible on the page comes from the Page editor.

People say they cannot register. Check status is Published, then check the ticket type's own sales start and end dates — a ticket outside its sales window will not sell on a published event.

You want the site visible but registration closed. Leave the event Published and close the tickets instead, by disabling them or letting their sales window end. That keeps your programme and venue information readable.
