Other Things of Note:

You won't always be able to edit your roles:

If you are actively engaging with a volunteer or currently have any volunteers who have indicated interest in your role, you will not be able to edit that role.

But what if I really need to modify the role?

Should any critical changes be necessary after engaging with a volunteer through an exploratory call, no worries. Talk about those desired changes with your interested volunteer. As long as you both agree on the changes, you'll be able to make those changes after you activate that role.


Conclusion

Editing a virtual role is a allows you to refine your volunteer opportunities and ensure they accurately reflect your current needs and attract the ideal candidates.
