Editing or deleting an event
How a studio changes or removes an event it posted — there's no cancel state, only edit or delete — and who gets notified when key details change.
After you've posted an event you can change its details or remove it. There's no separate "cancel" state — to call an event off, you delete it. For the bigger picture, see How events work on InkMap.
Step by step
- 1
Open your event
Open the event from the Events section of the News tab or from your own profile's News tab. Because you posted it, you'll see an edit and a delete button at the top.
- 2
Edit the details
Tap the edit button to reopen the form with everything filled in. Change whatever you need — title, image, type, description, location, dates, times, price, capacity, or the public/private setting — and save. Editing isn't blocked if your subscription has lapsed; you can always manage events you already posted.

Know what an edit notifies
When you change the title, date, time, or location, everyone who joined gets a notification about what changed. People who set the reminder bell on the event but haven't joined get the same update alert. The bell itself is only for pre-event reminders (one week and one day before) — not for change alerts. If you moved the date or time, bell subscribers' reminders are automatically rescheduled to the new start. Other tweaks — like the description or price — don't send a notification.

Delete an event
Tap the delete button. You'll be asked to confirm, and you can add an optional reason for calling it off. Everyone who joined, and everyone who set a reminder bell on the event, gets a cancellation notification — with your reason if you gave one — and their reminders are cleared so nobody gets a ping for an event that's no longer happening. The event then disappears for good: from the Events section, from your profile, and from the profiles of everyone who'd joined. Deleting can't be undone.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a way to cancel an event without deleting it?
No. There's no cancelled state — deleting is how you call an event off. If you only need to move it, edit the date instead, which keeps everyone who joined and reschedules their reminders.
- Will people who joined know I called it off?
Yes. Deleting sends a cancellation notification to everyone who joined and everyone who set a reminder bell, including the optional reason you can add when you delete. The event is also removed from their profiles.
