   Events with participants are an important aspect of successful community engagement projects. Civio Engage has a dedicated section to create and manage events for your project.

Create an event
---------------

To create an event for your project:

1. While logged in, use the top-level menu to navigate to the **Projects** tab.
2. Select the relevant project; this opens your project overview page.
3. In the left-hand menu, under **Content**, click **Events**. This shows all the events for this project.
4. To add a new event, in the top right, click **+Add event**.
5. Editing events has the same functionality as editing your main project page. You can use the text editor to add rich text, and add blocks to add other kinds of content. For more information about the text editor, see [WYSIWYG editor](/articles/9493555069455-WYSIWYG-Accordion-tool). For more information about content blocks, see [Manage content blocks and groups](/articles/9493603296399-Manage-content-blocks-and-groups).
6. Add a **Title**.
7. Add a **Description**. This is the detail of your event.
8. Use blocks (**Add block**) to add further content if required.
9. For long content enable "Show table of contents" checkbox in the content settings
10. In the event settings, choose whether to enable the **Allow RSVP** option (enabled by default). When enabled, users can register their attendance for the event. When disabled, the event will display without an RSVP button.
11. If RSVP is enabled, set the maximum number of attendees (**Max no of attendees**) for the event.
12. Set a **Start Date** and **End Date** for the event by typing the dates into the fields, or click the **calendar icon** and pick a date from the calendar.
13. Once you've finished editing, click **Save**.

Edit an event
-------------

To edit an existing event:

1. Navigate to an existing project.
2. In the left-hand menu, under **Content**, click **Events**. This shows all the events that already exist for this project.
3. Click on the **ellipsis button** to show more options for an event. Click **Edit**.
4. Alternatively, click on the event you want to edit, then click the **Edit** tab.
5. When you're finished editing, click **Done**.

Delete an event
---------------

You can delete an event from a project if it's no longer needed, or was created by mistake. This permanently removes the event and all its content and cannot be undone. Proceed with caution!

*Note: you may not have delete permissions as part of your role. If you have any questions about your permissions, contact your Civio Engage administrator.*

To delete an event:

1. Navigate to an existing project.
2. In the left-hand menu, under **Content**, click **events**. This shows all the events that already exist for this project.
3. Click on the **ellipsis button** to show more options for an event. Click **Delete**.
4. Alternatively, click on the event you want to edit, then click the **Delete** tab.
5. You'll be prompted with a warning to confirm the action. Click **Yes, Delete this event.**
6. Your event is now deleted.
