Ticket selection page - page containing ticket types, summary box, and discount code
Any custom pages - custom pages added to the event by the event manager
Event managers can access the above pages for the purpose of:
Adding a website banner

Website banner (1440x380) = used on all website pages (home, agenda, ticket selection, custom pages)
Event banner (1440x150) = used on registration pages and system emails
The ‘Event banner’ is uploaded on the Setup > Event > Properties page and selecting the ‘Advanced’ button at the bottom.

Editing the names of alternatives within a question will also update the registrations who have selected that value
Event managers can add more than one question at a time to their website by holding 'CRTL' or 'Command' on the keyboard and selecting multiple rows.
Adding new website pages

Adding YouTube videos
