Editing or removing a repeating event

Only future instances of a repeating event can be edited or deleted. If an occurrence of a repeating event has begun or has passed, that one instance may not be edited in any way.

  1. When viewing your Calendar, locate and tap on the event you'd like to edit or remove. 

  2. To edit or delete the event, tap Edit at the top-right corner of your screen.

  3. When you’ve finished making the required edits, tap Save. You will be presented with two options:

    1. Save for this event only: Make changes to this single instance of the repeating event. All other occurrences of the event will remain unaffected.

    2. Save for all future events: Make changes to this instance and all upcoming occurrences of the repeating event. Occurrences before the event you are editing will remain unaffected.

  4. To delete the event, scroll to the bottom of the edit window and tap on Delete. You will be presented with two options:

    1. Delete this event only: delete only this instance of the repeating event. All other occurrences will remain unaffected.

    2. Delete all future events: delete this instance and all upcoming occurrences of this repeating event. Occurrences before the event you are editing will remain unaffected.

Note: You cannot edit the repeating pattern or duration settings for recurring events. If the repeating pattern or duration needs to be updated, delete all future instances of the event and recreate the entry.

Why can't I delete an event? 

There are two reasons an event cannot be edited or deleted.

  1. Your co-parent parent or someone else created the event.  You can only delete or edit events that you have created.
  2. The event has passed.  Once an event becomes historical, it cannot be edited or deleted on the website. This is done to protect the integrity of your information.

However, you can create Moments in the OurFamilyWizard Journal to document details about historical or upcoming events.
