# Edit an opened event
Once you send your event to suppliers, it moves to [Open status](https://app.gitbook.com/s/XSi8dxrnMaQPYuaoiJWp/glossary/event-status-buyers). To ensure suppliers have accurate information for submitting their response, you can only edit fields that do not impact the response process. However, you can invite additional suppliers, change the closing date, or send clarifications. If an event is in Draft status, you can edit it as though it were a new event.
{% hint style="info" %}
Major changes needed?: If you need to make significant adjustments—such as adding line items, changing quantities, or modifying descriptions—you have the option to [withdraw your event](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/events/manage-opened-events/withdraw-an-event) within two days of submission and then resubmit, or you may choose to [cancel](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/events/cancel-an-event#cancelanevent) and create a new event.
