   By regularly updating and managing memberships, you maintain a living, dynamic space that honors the memory of the deceased and fosters an engaged support network of family and friends.

   Managing Unanswered Invitations on a Grave's Page

   When you extend an invitation to someone to join a grave's page, their response is crucial to formalizing their relationship with the memorial. Here's how you can manage invitations that haven't been answered yet:

   1. Locating Unanswered Invitations: On your grave's page, you will find a 'Relationships' section. Navigate to the 'UNANSWERED' tab to view all the invitations that are pending a response.

      

   2. Understanding Invitation Status: Invitations listed under this tab have been sent out but have not yet been accepted or declined. This section allows you to keep track of who is still considering joining the page.

   3. Sending Reminders: If an invitation remains unanswered for an extended period, you might consider sending a reminder to the invitee. This can prompt them to respond and ensure they haven't overlooked the invitation.

   4. Inviting More People: Should you need to invite additional friends or family members, you can easily do so from this section. Simply click on the 'Click here to invite more people to the grave' link to send out new invitations.

   5. Transition to Relationship List: Once an invitee responds to the invitation, their status will change. If they accept, they'll move to the 'RELATIONSHIPS' list, where you can then assign them roles and manage their interaction with the grave's page.

   6. Canceling Invitations: In case you need to retract an invitation, you can do so by selecting the invitation in question and choosing the cancel option. This removes the invitation and prevents any further action from the invitee.

   By keeping an eye on unanswered invitations and following up as needed, you can ensure that all who are meant to be part of the grave have the opportunity to contribute.
