## See an event's details

<img src="/images/calendar/event-details.png" alt="The details of an event, with its title, time, location and calendar" class="dark:hidden" />
<img src="/images/calendar/event-details-dark.png" alt="The details of an event, with its title, time, location and calendar" class="hidden dark:block" />

The details show:

- the event's color, its title, and its date and time, such as "Thursday, 8 October";
- "Repeats", if the event is part of a repeating series;
- **Join the meeting**, if the event has an online meeting link;
- the location;
- the number of guests and up to eight of their names. A check mark shows who has accepted;
- the description;
- the calendar the event belongs to.

The buttons at the top right are **Edit event** (pencil), **Delete event** (bin) and **Close** (X).

## Edit an event

1. Open the event.
2. Click **Edit event**. The **Edit event** dialog opens with the event's details filled in.

3. Change what you need. The fields are the same as when you [create an event](/guide/calendar/create-an-event), except that you cannot add a Google Meet or Teams meeting while editing.
4. Click **Save**.

To change only the time or day, you can also [drag the event](/guide/calendar/move-and-resize-events) in Day or Week view.

### Repeating events

For Google and Microsoft calendars, each occurrence of a repeating event is its own item in Metis Suite. When you edit, move or delete one occurrence, only that occurrence changes.

## Delete an event

1. Open the event.
2. Click **Delete event**.
3. Metis Suite asks "Delete &lt;event title&gt;?" and says that this can't be undone.

   <img src="/images/calendar/delete-event.png" alt="The confirmation shown before an event is deleted" class="dark:hidden" />
   <img src="/images/calendar/delete-event-dark.png" alt="The confirmation shown before an event is deleted" class="hidden dark:block" />

4. Click **Delete** to delete the event, or **Cancel** to keep it.

The calendar then refreshes. Check that the event is gone.

## Answer an invitation

When an event has guests, the bottom of its details shows "Going?" with three buttons: **Yes**, **No** and **Maybe**.

1. Open the event.
2. Click **Yes**, **No** or **Maybe**. Your answer is highlighted.

If your answer cannot be sent, a message such as "Could not send your response" appears. Try again.

What happens next depends on your provider. Google Calendar sends your answer to the other guests. On a CalDAV calendar, your answer changes only your own copy of the event, and no message is sent. Other providers follow their own rules.
