## How to cancel an event versus an occurrence versus a schedule

**Any event owner, event editor or Admin on the account can cancel an 1. entire event, 2. a single or multiple occurrences or 3. schedule(s) on an event within the eSPACE Event Scheduler!**

- Each individual eSPACE (user, sub-admins, and admins) can manage notifications for their own eSPACE account under their profile icon \> My Notifications \> **Notification Preferences** including notifications for Canceled Events, Canceled Occurrences and Canceled Schedules.

To learn who gets notified when an event, occurrence, or schedule gets canceled read the article called "Event | Who Gets Notified About a Canceled Event, Occurrence or Schedule".<https://support.smartchurchsolutions.com/hc/en-us/articles/34239405437595-Event-Who-Gets-Notified-About-a-Canceled-Event-Occurrence-or-Schedule>

#### **1. Cancel Entire Event**

- Go to the event "Details" page of the event and select the orange "Cancel" button (see below).

- The event will then be removed from your dashboard. To view the canceled event, go to Events, located on the left sidebar of your dashboard, then Event Actions and **Canceled Events**. You will see all of your canceled events here (see below). 
    - Once an event is canceled, only an admin can restore it. Learn more in the article called "How to Find and Restore Canceled Events and Deleted Events".
