7. Another organizer (optional)
If you’re creating an event to announce something for someone else, specify their name and link. Otherwise, the event will be published from your profile or community.

⚠️ Note: The organizer’s name/link will be shown in the event info, but posts and comments are always from the profile/community that created the event.

After creating, the event appears in the "Events Overview" section. Public events are searchable and visible to others. Private events do not appear in search or recommendations except for invited users. Posts and participants in a private event are only visible to other participants and invitees. After publishing, you can edit the event, change the cover, add media, reply to comments, and chat with event participants.
