      When managing events, it's crucial to consider the long-term impact of deletions. Once the "Delete" action button is clicked, there's no way to undo the deletion, and the system won't retain a list of inactive events.

      To maintain a comprehensive event history for future planning, follow these guidelines:

      1. Use the Revoke button: 

        1. Opt for the "Revoke" button instead of deletion. This action updates the event's expiration date to one day prior to the current date, effectively removing it from public view without erasing it entirely from the system.

      2. Manually Update the Expiration Date:

        1. Take control of your event records by manually adjusting the expiration date. This ensures that past events remain accessible for reference and planning purposes, facilitating seamless event management and strategic decision-making.
