Get your event ready: the checklist

When you create your first event, its Overview opens with Get your event ready: three short steps that cover what most hosts need before guests start replying. It shows how many are done, for example "1 of 3 complete".

The three steps

1. Check your invitation (or "registration page"). Select Preview invitation to see the page as guests will. When you're happy, select Looks good. You can also jump to Change design or Edit event details from here. "Looks good" records that you checked it; it doesn't check your details for you.
2. Copy or share your link. Use the share panel on the Overview: Copy link, Share on WhatsApp or Share. The step completes when the link is copied or a share is opened. Downloading the QR code doesn't complete it.
3. Find your responses. Open the Responses tab and read the short introduction, then select Got it.

When all three are done you'll see You're all set. Select Dismiss to put it away.

Hide it or bring it back

• Select Hide checklist to put it away without completing anything.
• To bring it back, open the event and select More actions (⋯) → Getting-started guide. Steps you've done stay done.
• To also bring back the short tips on each page, choose More actions (⋯) → Show me around, or Show me around on your Account page. Tips then appear as you visit each page.

If progress doesn't save

If your link was shared but the checklist couldn't be updated, the step shows a message with Save progress. Selecting it saves the step without sharing again. The checklist isn't shown for events that have already happened.
