# Adding, editing, and deleting guests

Managing guests through event management on your desktop and in your web browser is a straightforward process.

Once your event is created, it's time to add your guests.

Watch the video below to see how you add a new guest via your web browser, edit the guest's details and deleting a guest.

### Adding a guest

**One at a time:**

1.  Go to your event's **Guest List** page.
2.  Click the **Add Guest** button.
3.  Fill in at least their full name or first name.
4.  Fill any custom data fields you've created (see Customizing Data Fields).
5.  Pick a status (default selection: Confirmed)
6.  Click **Save**.

**In bulk via upload:**  
If you have a spreadsheet, you can upload it directly. We recommend including columns for first name, last name, company, email, and any custom fields and use the Excel template. See the Uploading Guests guide for formatting requirements.

### Editing a guest

1.  Find the guest in your guest list (use the search bar or scroll).
2.  Click on the guest and on the white **Edit** button in top right of the guest profile.
3.  Update any information: name, email, status, custom fields, etc.
4.  Click **Save**.

Edits sync automatically to all laptops and check-in devices in real time.

### Deleting a guest

1.  Find the guest in your guest list and click the checkbox to select the guest.
2.  Click the black **More** button on top.
3.  Select **Delete**.
4.  Confirm that you want to delete them.

**Important:** Deleting a guest is permanent. Their check-in history, RSVP responses, and any assigned badge will also be removed. If they were assigned to a table, this seat at that table becomes available again. If you just want to mark them as not attending, consider changing their status instead (see Selecting a Guest Status).
