Why should wedding-detail editing follow the onboarding feature?

Wedding-detail editing is a logical follow-up to onboarding when onboarding already creates the information people will need to correct later. A couple may enter a tentative date, choose a venue afterward, or notice a spelling mistake. Providing an edit journey makes the initial record useful beyond its first submission.

This sequence is a product-design choice, not a universal rule. If onboarding has serious defects or another approved feature is more urgent, that work may need to come first.

Reuse the foundation onboarding created

Onboarding establishes which fields belong to a wedding, which are required, and how a signed-in user is connected to the record. Editing can reuse those definitions while introducing update-specific behavior.

For example, creation may require a wedding name and date. An edit request might change only the venue. The server must preserve omitted values and check that the requester may modify that particular wedding.

Add a complete correction journey

A useful editing increment includes opening a form with saved values, changing allowed fields, saving, and seeing the updated dashboard. Cancellation must discard unsaved form changes.

Plan the less obvious states too: loading the record, showing validation feedback, retaining a draft after a failed save, and preventing a second submission while the first is pending. If a date change affects existing events, define whether the application warns the user or requires separate event updates.

Verify the original journey still works

Test with a newly onboarded account and an account that already has a wedding. Confirm that editing does not accidentally create another wedding, reset unrelated information, or change membership.

Record any newly discovered product decisions in the requirements. Keeping this increment focused gives the team a clear transition from creating wedding data to maintaining it throughout the planning process.
