In your [Dashboard](/event-dashboard/) click the + symbol in the [Events](https://snappytickets.co.uk/event-dashboard/?action=event_dashboard) option

Once you have clicked an option the Event Editor will open which has a number of tabs you can click to move between. The number fo tabs that are displayed depends on whether Advanced Mode is turned on or not.

#### Advanced Mode

Advanced mode will show you more options in the event editor and gives you further control over how tickets are displayed and opens up further features. Choose Advanced mode if you're quite familiar with how Snappy Tickets works, otherwise leave it turned off.

The default setting is governed by an option in your [Event Settings](/docs/event-settings/). You can override this in the event editor itself.
