Sponsors > Settings holds the event-wide sponsor settings in four sections: General, Import & Export, Booth and Advanced. Switches and the display order save as soon as you change them.

Before you start

You need to be an organization admin or an event admin.
The Sponsors page shows "Sponsors feature is not active" until the feature is on. Select Activate there. The Settings tab is not shown while the feature is off.
The tab row, including Settings, appears once the event has at least one sponsor category.

Where to find it

Sponsors > Settings in the admin panel. The links on the right jump to each section.
