Editing an existing meeting

When editing an existing meeting in Robin there are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. If the event was created outside of Robin then it is a synced event. In order to make changes to a synced event the Edit Synced Events setting must be enabled in the web dashboard. Synced events are flagged with a calendar icon.
  2. You must be an admin in Robin or event organizer to edit. Robin members will not have permission to edit other folks events.

 In this article we are going to cover how to:

Update your event from the web dashboard 

1
Open your event from the Schedule page.
2

Select the Actions tab (3 little dots) in the top right > Edit or Cancel from the dropdown menu.  If you don't see the option to edit or cancel the event then you may not be the true organizer of the event and you will need admin assistance.

Make your changes in the event composer > Save changes.

Note: Moving a meeting between spaces is in Beta, which means when you move the meeting, the original version will be canceled and immediately rebooked in the new space.

How to edit a recurring event or series

Editing a recurring event follows the same workflow and has the same requirements as a non-recurring event, but with the option to edit a single instance or the entire series. 

Watch the video or follow the guide below on how to edit or delete a recurring event.

How Robin recognizes recurring events varies depending on your calendar system:

Google and Outlook users will both see this icon recurring_icon_only.pngHowever, Google users will also see the option to view the event details of a single event using the  "Event tab" or to view the series (first 10 instances) using the "Series tab"

The event composer will open. Click edit in the top right corner. Make your changes and then press save to update the event. Everyone involved will receive the usual notification.
