Event Settings — Advanced

Location in PixCrowd Hub: Select an event → Settings → Advanced

The Advanced tab contains sensitive event-management actions. Review the consequences carefully before making changes.

Danger zone: Delete this event

The Delete this event button permanently deletes the selected event, including:

  • The event itself and its settings.
  • Every photo and video shared with the event.
  • The underlying photo and video files.

Warning: This action cannot be undone. Do not delete an event unless you are certain that you no longer need the event or its media.

How to delete an event

  1. In PixCrowd Hub, select the event you want to delete.
  2. Open Settings → Advanced.
  3. Read the Danger zone warning.
  4. Select Delete this event only if you intend to permanently remove the event and its files.
  5. Follow any confirmation steps presented by PixCrowd.

Note: The screenshot does not show the confirmation process. Follow the prompts displayed by the application rather than assuming a particular confirmation method.

Deleting versus archiving

Deleting is a permanent removal action. Archiving is an automatic lifecycle state, governed by the event's Preview period or the plan's retention policy. Do not use the two terms interchangeably.

For the lifecycle details, see Event Settings — Schedule.

Live Preview

The preview panel shows the event's current visual theme. Use the Collect, Capture, and Wall buttons to switch between previews of those experiences. This preview is for reviewing the appearance of your event; it is separate from the Delete action.

For appearance customization, see Event Design Overview.

Guest page QR code and event link

Below the preview, the Collect — guest page panel provides:

  • A QR code guests can scan to open the event's Collect page.
  • The event's standard URL.
  • A Copy button to copy the URL for sharing.

The standard event link can also be shared through messaging apps and other channels. Guest RSVP availability depends on the event's schedule; see Guests Overview and Schedule.

Discard changes and Save changes

The page includes Discard changes and Save changes controls at the bottom. These are general settings controls and should not be confused with the separate Delete this event action.

Frequently asked questions

Can I restore an event after deleting it?

No. The Danger zone explicitly states that deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Are photos and videos deleted too?

Yes. Deletion includes every photo and video shared with the event, including the files themselves.

Does the Advanced tab change the event's lifecycle state?

No lifecycle-state control is shown here. The only organizer-initiated lifecycle transition is scheduling an event under Settings → Schedule; the other lifecycle states are automatic.

Where can I change how my event looks?

Use Event → Design to change the event's style, hero image, and banner.
