All updates are posted publicly on the Updates tab of your event. This tab is visible not only to players, but to anyone that finds this event. The update will display the name of Event admin that posted it, the title, and full description. If multiple updates are added, the most recent update will populate first. If no updates are posted, the Updates tab will not appear on your event.
