There are two ways to edit an Activity, depending on your role:
If you're leading an Activity and want to update its details, see Method 1: From your Dashboard.
If you're a platform admin and need to edit any Activity on the platform, see Method 2: From the Admin Panel.
Method 1: Editing an Activity from your Dashboard
You can edit any Activity that you're leading from your Dashboard.
Click Dashboard in the top right of the platform.
Open the Activities section and find the Activity you want to edit.
Click the three-dot menu on the right of the row, then click View. This opens the Activity page.
Click the Edit button on the top right of the Activity page.
The Edit Activity form opens, grouped into two sections:
General Details - Status, Activity name, Host, Description, Start date, End date, Location, Cause, and Beneficiary Groups.
Connections - the Programme this Activity is linked to (if any).
Update the fields you want to change, then click Save changes at the bottom of the form.
📌 Note: If the Activity already has volunteer hours or donations logged against it, narrowing the Start date or End date can move some of those logs outside the new window. They stay visible on the Activity's tabs, but they'll stop counting in the metric cards until the dates cover them again - logged dates aren't adjusted automatically.
Method 2: Editing an Activity from the Admin Panel
If you're an admin, you can edit any Activity on the platform - not just the ones you lead - directly from the Admin Panel.
Open your profile dropdown in the top right of the platform and click Switch to Admin Panel.
In the left-hand sidebar, expand Delivery and click Activities.
Find the Activity you want to edit and click the three-dot menu on the right of the row.
Click Edit Activity. The Edit Activity form opens, grouped into two sections:
General Details - Status, Activity name, Host, Description, Start date, End date, Location, Cause, and Beneficiary Groups.
Connections - the Programme this Activity is linked to (if any).
Update the fields you want to change, then click Save changes at the bottom of the form.
📌 Note: If the Activity already has volunteer hours or donations logged against it, narrowing the Start date or End date can move some of those logs outside the new window. They stay visible on the Activity's tabs, but they'll stop counting in the metric cards until the dates cover them again - logged dates aren't adjusted automatically.
