What You Will Learn

• How to open an existing event for editing in a Personalize project.

• How to change an event's Key and Description.

• What to update elsewhere before you edit an event tied to A/B tests.

Steps for Execution

To edit an existing event, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the following steps:

1. In the top navigation bar, click the App Switcher icon and then click Personalize.
2. You will be redirected to the Personalize Projects landing page. Click the project for which you want to edit an event.
3. Click the Events tab.
4. You can edit an existing Event by clicking your event to open it or by clicking the corresponding vertical ellipses under the Actions section and selecting Edit.
   
5. In the Edit Event modal, make the necessary changes to the Key and Description fields.
6. Click Save to complete the setup.

   Warning: Modifying an event tied to A/B tests can impact your metrics. Before editing, update all references to it in your experiments. Reset the Event Key used in triggerImpressions and triggerEvent via the Personalize Edge SDK. This prevents skewed metrics and keeps your personalization on track.

You will get a success message after the Event is edited.
