How do I connect Planning Center, and what does "your edits win" mean?

Updated 2026-11-03

Connect once and your events, groups and team stay in step with Planning Center.

  1. Click Settings, then Planning Center (under Connected).
  2. Click Connect Planning Center, sign in on Planning Center's page and approve access.
  3. Back in Studio, under What comes in, turn Events, Groups and Your team on or off.
  4. Want only some of them? Click Choose which events and groups come in and pick them.

From then on, anything you add in Planning Center shows up on your site on its own. Synced items are marked PCO in your lists, and you add new ones in Planning Center, not in Studio.

"Your edits win": if you reword a synced event on your website (a friendlier description, say), the sync won't overwrite the field you changed. It keeps updating everything else.

If something looks different: if Settings shows Planning Center Needs to be reconnected, open it and click Sign in to Planning Center again. Access expires now and then; a minute later everything resumes.
