{/* category: Guest Badges */}

This article covers how to revoke or delete guest badges individually or in bulk, and how to filter the list to find what you need.

## Single-Badge Actions

For any individual badge, click the **three-dot menu (⋮)** at the end of its row to access:

| Action         | When available     | What it does                                    |
| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **View Badge** | Always             | Opens the public verification page in a new tab |
| **Copy Link**  | Always             | Copies the badge URL to your clipboard          |
| **Revoke**     | Active badges only | Marks the badge as revoked (cannot be undone)   |
| **Delete**     | Always             | Permanently removes the badge record            |

### Revoking a Single Badge

1. Click **⋮** on the badge row
2. Select **Revoke**
3. Confirm in the dialog

The badge is immediately invalidated. The revocation is logged with your name and the current timestamp.

### Deleting a Single Badge

1. Click **⋮** on the badge row
2. Select **Delete**
3. Confirm in the dialog

The badge record and its link are permanently removed. Any guest who tries to open the link will see a "not found" error.

> **Revoke vs Delete:** Revoke keeps the badge record visible in the admin list (useful for audit trails). Delete removes it entirely.

***

## Bulk Actions

To manage multiple badges at once:

1. Click the **checkbox** on each row you want to select, or use the **header checkbox** to select all rows on the current page
2. The action bar at the top of the table changes to show **N selected** and an **Actions** button
3. Click **Actions** and choose:

| Bulk Action | Applies to                      | Behavior                                          |
| ----------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Revoke**  | Selected **Active** badges only | Non-active badges in the selection are skipped    |
| **Delete**  | All selected badges             | Deletes every selected badge regardless of status |

Both actions show a confirmation dialog before proceeding. Press **Escape** to cancel the selection without making any changes.

***

## Filtering the List

Use the status filter (above the table) to narrow the list to a specific status:

* **All** — shows every badge
* **Active** — currently valid badges
* **Expired** — past their validity window
* **Revoked** — manually cancelled badges

Filtering is useful when you want to:

* **Bulk-delete old expired badges** — filter by Expired, select all, delete
* **Find and revoke a specific active badge** — filter by Active, search by name
* **Audit who was on site** — filter by date range or status

***

## Pagination

The list shows **10 rows per page** by default. Use the rows-per-page selector (10 / 25 / 50 / 100) to show more badges at once, or navigate between pages using the page controls.
