  • Can I edit or update my campaign after it’s live?
    Yes, you can update most settings and design elements at any time—even after your campaign is live. This includes editing text, adjusting colours, changing entry methods, and updating prize details. However, we recommend exercising caution with changes once entries have started to ensure fairness and consistency for participants. If you're updating key components like prizes or entry actions mid-campaign, it's best to notify your audience or add a note in the campaign to avoid confusion.Few readers
