# Propagate Settings

The **Propagate Settings** feature acts as a "global sync" for event configurations — letting you update settings across multiple events at once, instead of editing each one individually.

**Where to find it:** Go to **Events Preview / Event Settings** to see your current propagation scope.

#### How Propagation Works

Propagation is **trigger-based**, not a constant sync — changes only push to other events the moment you modify a setting.

**Affected pages:** Propagation only applies to changes made on:

- **Settings / UI Setup**
- **Settings / Vendor View Setup**
- **Settings / Notifications Setup**
- **Settings / CUI Messages**

**Scope options:** You can choose how broadly a change applies:

- **All events of the same type**
- **All events of the same category and type**
- **Only the current event** *(the "safety toggle" — use this to customize a single event without affecting others)*

#### Best Practices

<div class="overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6" id="bkmrk-if-you-want-to...-se"><table class="min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal"><thead class="text-left"><tr><th class="text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold" scope="col">If you want to...</th><th class="text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold" scope="col">Set propagation to...</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Update an email template across all your events</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">"Propagate changes to all events"</td></tr><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Change the open/close dates for just this event</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">"Propagate to only current event"</td></tr><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Test a new setting before rolling it out everywhere</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">"Propagate to only current event"</td></tr></tbody></table>

> ⚠️ **Important:** Always double-check this toggle before leaving the page. If global propagation is left on by mistake, a small change meant for one event could unintentionally overwrite settings across dozens of others.
