Can I change the event after I've shared it?

Yes. Open the event, go to the Edit tab, make your changes and click Save changes. The link stays the same and the event page updates right away. Guests who already added the event keep the copy in their calendar, so let them know about important changes.

Where do I see how many people used my link?

Each event in My Events shows a click count. For more detail, open the event and go to the Analytics tab.

Can I add an image or a password?

Yes. On the event's Edit tab you can upload an Event Image, turn on Password Protection and set the Social Media Preview.
