The sidebar stays visible while you switch Main, Media, and Location tabs.

Media and location

• Main image, intro image, gallery, and video URL

From the Events list you can toggle Featured with the star, duplicate events, download a sample CSV, and run CSV import or export. The Hits column shows how many times each event page was viewed; sort by Hits descending to see the most popular events.
