On-Demand: Editing Your Registration Form

If you have already created your On-Demand and want to further edit your Registration Page, you will need to follow some extra steps to ensure this is saved.

Your published On-Demand session appears below your unpublished Live Session. To edit the Registration Page for the On-Demand session, this needs to be moved to the top of the list of sessions.

NOTE: If you do not want any confirmation emails to go out to those who have registered for the On-Demand, then you will need to deactivate the confirmation emails first, before moving the On-Demand session up. (See our guide on how to edit emails here).

Click the bottom On-Demand session and drag this to above the top Live Session. You will get a change warning to confirm this.

You can now edit the Registration Page by clicking on the Registration Form tab. Remember to Save and Publish changes.

Your Registration Page should now be updated and can be checked.

NOTE: To ensure your event reporting is accurate, ensure that the sessions are in the correct order at the end of this process with the unpublished Live Event at the top and the published On-Demand below this.

Your On-Demand Event URL'S

The live event URL is the same for the newly created On-Demand version. Attendees who accessed the live event will have access to the On-Demand without having to re-register. You do not need to provide different URLs for your On-Demand version.
