# Withdraw an event

If you have an opened event and need to make major changes, such as adding line items, changing quantities, etc., you can withdraw the event within 2 days of opening it. Withdrawn events are moved back to Draft status and can be edited like a new event. When you withdraw an event, any supplier responses are removed and the suppliers are notified that you've withdrawn the event. After you've edited the event, you will need to open the event again. Once you withdraw an event, it cannot be undone. If you event only needs minor changes, you may be able to [edit your event](/buyers/request-for-quote-rfq/edit-a-request-for-quote-rfq.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/events/manage-opened-events/withdraw-an-event.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
