# Updates and Events

Some prayers might run for a long time, and you want to record updates to the information (such as somebody's illness got worse, or perhaps it really got a lot better). You can add updates as a kind of history for the prayer. You can also add upcoming events for a prayer - an example of an event could be an operation or exam.

## Adding Updates

When you are looking at the details of a prayer (in the Prayer Details window), you can add an update by pressing the button on the toolbar. That will open the Update Edit screen, which lets you enter the update details.

The form shows:

- Summary: A title to give to the update.
- Start time and End Time. The date and time the update happened. This defaults to the closest hour to now. If you want to set it to something else, press the button in the field to change the date and time.
- Details. Type in the details of the update here.

## Adding Events

You can add an upcoming event for a prayer in a similar way to an update. In the Prayer Details window, press the button. That will open the Event Edit screen.

The form shows:

- Summary: A title to give to the update.
- Start time and End Time. The date and time the update happened. This defaults to the closest hour to now. If you want to set it to something else, press the button in the field to change the date and time.
- % Complete: It is possible to mark an event as partially complete here.
- Details. Type in the details of the update here.

If an event is set for a prayer, that prayer will be selected the day before the event, and on the day of the event.

## Viewing Updates and Events

There are 2 places you can see updates and events:

- When you are praying, the updates are show under the main prayer (most recent first).
- When you are reviewing (in the Prayer Details window), updates are show in a list.
