# Publish and visibility

> Move an event from draft to live and choose whether it is listed publicly

Two separate decisions control who can reach your event: whether it is **published** at all, and whether a published event is **public** — listed on the TixFix app — or reachable only by its link.

***

## Draft versus published

At the bottom of the second step of the event wizard you have two buttons:

* **Save as Draft** — the event is stored but not live. Nobody outside your team can see it and no tickets can be sold. Come back and finish it whenever.
* **Publish** — the event goes live and can accept registrations.

<Tip>
  Save as draft freely while you're still writing copy or waiting on a cover image. Nothing is visible to attendees until you publish.
</Tip>

***

## Public or link-only

Above the publish buttons is a toggle:

> **Make this event public** *(Event will be visible on TixFix app.)*

| Setting | Who can find it                                                                           |
| ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **On**  | Anyone browsing the TixFix app can discover the event, plus anyone with the link.         |
| **Off** | Only people you send the link to. The event is live and sells tickets, but is not listed. |

Turn it off for private functions, corporate events, member-only shows, or a pre-sale you want to run quietly before general announcement.

## Your public event URL

Once published, open the event from `Events` and click `View Event` to see the attendee-facing page. It shows your cover image, title, host name, venue address, date and time, the **About Event** description, special instructions, tags, and the `Register` button.

To share it, click the **share** icon on the event card. You get a copyable direct link plus buttons for X, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

## Re-publishing after edits

Edits to a live event take effect as soon as you save them — there is no separate re-publish step. Reach the wizard from the event's `⋯` menu, choose `Edit`, make your change, and click through `Update and Continue`.

<Warning>
  Changing the date, time, or venue of an event that has already sold tickets does not automatically notify existing attendees. Send them an update yourself — see [Email your attendees](/communication/email-attendees).
</Warning>

## Taking an event down

There is no unpublish toggle. To stop an event from selling, use `Cancel Event` from the `⋯` menu. See [Edit, duplicate, or cancel an event](/events/manage-an-event).
