# Save the event invitation plan

> Replaces the definition and increments revision/lock. Existing applied task snapshots remain unchanged. Supply the current lock, or zero for first save. One to ten steps must be enabled; offsets are 0–365 days, titles allow only donor_name/event_name tokens, specific assignees must be active and see this event. Unknown or duplicate step keys become new generated keys. Requires event setup management; archived event invitation history is read-only (409). Also requires task management permission.
