✅ That’s it! Meal selections will now appear for guests on your ticket page for *all* ticket types.

💡 **Tip:** You can add multiple meal options by repeating steps 4–6 for each choice.

### What report shows selected meals?

**Go to: Event Tickets \> Manage Guests**

You can view the selection for a guest on this page, as well as update their selection. The guest's meal choice is shown by clicking the report on this page " Download Guests". Column H is specifically for a selection. If a guest has not yet selected a meal choice, you will see it show up as "unspecified".

### How do I change a guest’s meal selection?

1. Go to Event Tickets \> Manage Guests
2. Find the guest's name.
3. Scroll to the **Selection** column.
4. Click into the field and update the meal choice.
5. Click outside the box to save.

---

### A guest didn’t select a meal, what now?

You can resend the **Guest Update Link** to the ticket purchaser:

1. Go to Event Tickets \> View Ticket Sales
2. Find the **Ticket Purchaser’s Name**
3. Click the **three dots** on the far right
4. Select the '**Email Guest Update Link'**

💡 **Tip**: Make sure Guest Update Links are enabled in:  
Event Tickets \> Ticket Page Settings \> General Settings \> "Send Guest Update Link with Ticket Purchase?"  
Set this to **Yes** ✅

---

#### **Rearranging Tickets and Selections**

You can change the **display order** of your tickets and selections:

- **Right-click and hold** the line item.
- **Drag and drop** to rearrange within the same section (e.g., tickets, sponsorships, selections).

⚠️ **Warning:**  
Once a **selection has been chosen**, **do not change its name**.  
This can:

- Break reporting accuracy
- Prevent guest links from working correctly
