🎓 Class Reunion · Quick Answer

Can I Bulk-Edit a Class Reunion Roster in a Spreadsheet?

Yes. Class Reunly has an editable spreadsheet view for classmate records- so your committee can fix names, maiden names, and details across many rows at once, instead of opening one profile at a time. It's the fastest way to clean up a list right after an import.

Why a Grid Beats Editing One Profile at a Time

Class lists almost never arrive clean. They come from a yearbook scan, an old alumni spreadsheet, or several committee members' contacts pasted together - so names get miskeyed, maiden and current last names get swapped, and the occasional duplicate slips in. Fixing that one profile at a time is slow and easy to lose track of. An editable grid lets you see the whole roster at once and correct it in bulk.

What You Can Clean Up

Names and maiden namesThe fields imports get wrong most - correct them directly in the table so classmates appear the right way everywhere.

Row-by-row scanningRead down the whole list and fix issues in place, rather than clicking into each classmate.

Consistency before you printStandardize how names read before generating name badges or sending invitations.

One source of truthThe roster feeds name tags, the classmate list, and memorial displays - fix it once, not in several places.

Clean Roster In, Everything Else Out

The roster is the single source of truth for the rest of your reunion. Once a classmate's name and maiden name are right, they read correctly on name badges, the classmate list, and the In Memoriam wall - so getting the list clean early saves reprints and awkward fixes on the night. Still tracking people down? That's a different step: see finding missing classmates.

Bulk-Editing the Roster: Questions Answered

Can I bulk-edit a class reunion roster in a spreadsheet?

Yes. Class Reunly includes an editable spreadsheet-style view of your classmate records, so a committee can correct many classmates at once - fixing names, maiden names, and other details row by row - instead of opening one profile at a time. It's the fastest way to clean up a list right after an import.

Why would a committee need to bulk-correct classmate records?

Class lists usually arrive messy - imported from a yearbook scan, an old alumni spreadsheet, or several committee members' contributions. Names get miskeyed, maiden and current last names get swapped, and duplicates creep in. A grid view lets you scan the whole roster and fix problems in bulk, so the list you build outreach, name tags, and RSVPs from is accurate from the start.

What can I edit in the classmate spreadsheet view?

The grid is built for the fields committees fix most - especially names and maiden names, where imports often go wrong. You can scan down the roster and correct entries directly in the table, making it quick to standardize how classmates appear before you print name tags or send invitations. For finding people who aren't on the list yet, that's a separate step - see finding missing classmates.

Does editing the roster affect name tags and the In Memoriam wall?

Yes - the roster is the single source of truth. Once a classmate's name or maiden name is correct in the record, it flows through to name badges, the classmate list, and memorial displays, so you fix it once rather than in several places. Getting the roster clean early saves reprints and awkward corrections on the night.

Is the spreadsheet view part of the same class reunion tool?

Yes. Class Reunly is one toolkit for reunion committees - roster, RSVPs and ticketing, name badges, the reunion website hub, and finding missing classmates all live together. The spreadsheet view is just a faster way to manage the roster that everything else draws from. It's free to start at class.reunly.io.
