Create an Event — Step 3: Preview

The Preview step is the final step in the Create Event wizard. Review your event information, see which PixCrowd features are included, and choose whether to explore your new event now or finish setting it up later.

Overview

The Preview step is the final step in the Create Event wizard. Review your event information, see which PixCrowd features are included, and choose whether to explore your new event now or finish setting it up later.

Your new event starts in Preview mode. You can set it up and try it before scheduling it, without using an Event Pass.

Review your event summary

The Event summary card shows the event's selected theme image, name, date (if provided), and event type. Check that the information looks right before proceeding.

To revise details or change the theme, select Back to return to the previous step. You can navigate back through the wizard as needed.

What your event starts with

Your event includes these experiences:

FeatureWhat it does
CollectGuests can upload photos and videos from their phones using an event QR code or link.
CaptureUse an iPad kiosk to take photos, boomerangs, and videos.
WallShow event photos and videos live on a large screen.

Quizzes and announcements can also be prepared and displayed on your event's screens when you choose to use them.

Understand Preview mode

Preview mode lets you configure and test an event before it goes live:

  • No Event Pass is spent while the event remains in Preview mode.
  • Guests can join the preview event and upload media.
  • Wall displays can run so you can test the presentation.
  • Uploads are limited while in Preview mode. The current Preview limit is 10 media items (photos, boomerangs, or videos) per event.
  • Schedule the event when you're ready to go live. Scheduling consumes an Event Pass.

Important: Preview mode is intended for setup and testing, not unlimited live-event use. Review the event's schedule and settings before inviting all your guests.

Finish creating your event

Then choose one of the following:

  • ← Back — Return to the Theme step to make changes.
  • I'll set it up later — Finish this step without immediately exploring the event. You can return to it from the Events page.
  • Explore my event → — Continue into the new event to configure its settings and features.

Both finish options are intended to let you proceed without scheduling the event immediately. Confirm any final save behavior in your deployed version of PixCrowd Hub.

Can I test a Wall Display before scheduling?

Yes. Wall works during Preview mode, allowing you to test the event display.

Do I have to finish setting up everything now?

No. Select I'll set it up later to return to event setup another time, or Explore my event to continue configuring it now.

Can I change my theme or event information?

Use Back within the wizard to revisit earlier steps. The Theme step also explains that themes can be customized later.
