An event article is the place to understand an occasion, prepare for it, and return to its outcomes. The calendar and cards make the schedule easy to scan; the article gives that schedule a purpose.
One Event, Several Ways To Read It
Open a card to read the full article. In a community calendar, selecting an event opens a side panel so you can keep the surrounding schedule in view. Choose Go to Event to continue on the full page, or close the panel to return to planning.
The article's View in Calendar link takes you to the saved schedule in Week view and highlights the event. This is useful when a shared article link is your starting point and you want to check nearby commitments.
The event article keeps scheduling and attendance beside its agenda and discussion.
Write An Invitation People Can Act On
Use the title to explain the occasion and short keywords to make it recognizable while browsing. For example, Design review can label an event whose title identifies the work being reviewed. Keywords allow up to 30 characters and the title up to 300.
The header keeps Start, End, Repeat, and Color together. The body has room for the decisions participants need to make:
An image and opening description can also help readers recognize the event in cards. Choose a meaningful introduction rather than relying on a cover to explain the invitation.
Keep The Conversation With The Occasion
Comments provide a place for questions and follow-up. Reactions and awards let readers respond to the contribution, while linked posts and articles connect supporting material. The available actions follow the community's permissions.
The article stays available after a one-off event ends. Add outcomes or links where they help people who attended and those catching up later; the old schedule does not need to disappear for the record to remain useful.
Editing And Publication
The author and people with event-management access can edit eligible event articles. Reading the article or confirming attendance does not grant editing access. Private-area access still applies.
A draft stays with its author until publication. Saved article changes remain when you reopen it, and publishing makes the event and article available together to the permitted audience. See Create and publish an event.
Schedule controls follow editing permission, including for dates that have already passed. Changing Start beyond the current End advances the end date, so check the complete interval after a change. A repeating event has a shared schedule rule: editing its source changes the series rather than creating an exception for one occurrence.
Title, keywords, schedule, repetition, and color remain associated with the same event across the article and calendar. For a practical correction, use Update event details and schedule.
Common Questions
Do I need to write the article again for each repeated event?
No. Calendar occurrences share the article. If different sessions need separate agendas and attendance choices, create separate events.
Does changing the article announce the update to everyone?
An open community Events page can refresh when event details change, but this is not a guarantee that every participant has read your revision. Use the community's normal conversation channel for an important change.
Can I open the full article from its calendar panel?
Yes. Choose Go to Event. The panel is a convenient reading and editing view, not a separate copy.
Does deleting the event keep the article as an archive?
No. Deleting removes the linked event and article together. Keep a completed event when its content should remain available.
