# Publish, share and control who can open your event

> Choose who can open your Luce event, set the show capacity, publish it and share the link. Covers public, private and e-mail domain events, and cancelling.

A draft event is seen only by you and your co-hosts. Publishing puts it out for guests. Before you publish, decide who can open it and how many phones the show takes, because some of this cannot change afterwards.

## Who can open it

Set this in the console's **Event** tab, under **Who can open it**:

| Setting | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Public** | Anyone can open it, and it can be found in search and on the map. |
| **Private** | Only people with the link can open it. It is never listed. |
| **Only these e-mail domains** | Private, and guests sign in with an address at one of up to 5 domains (or a subdomain), such as `acme.com`. Your team always gets in. Needs a paid plan or the event pass. |

> [!WARNING]
>
> Who can open an event is set before publishing and stays as it is.

## Show capacity

The show capacity is how many phones can join the live show at once. Anyone who can open the event can still read the page and answer. Set it in the console's **Event** tab; when you publish, it is taken from your plan's people for the month. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.luce.show/plans.md) for how people are counted and what happens when the month runs out.

You can raise the capacity until the show ends, and lower it before the show starts; places you lower come back.

## Publish

Choose **Publish**. The window shows who can open the event, the capacity and where it comes from. A published event cannot go back to being a draft.

## Share the link

Choose **Share** on the event page or in the console to copy the link, share it through your phone's apps, or send it in a Luce message. With a paid plan or the event pass, you can give the event its own link.

## Cancel an event

To take a published event down, choose **Cancel event**. Guests see that it was cancelled and no show will run. This cannot be undone.
