Overview

Calendar blocks mark specific periods when you cannot take bookings — a dentist appointment, emergency closure, or ad-hoc afternoon off. Quick-add from the calendar is faster than creating a closure in settings when you already know the exact times.

  • Drag to select a time range in Day or Week view
  • Choose Block time from the action dialog
  • Blocks remove slots from your public booking page
  • Existing bookings are not cancelled — handle those separately
Use Day or Week view to select a precise time range.

Note

For multi-day holidays or repeating lunch breaks, use Scheduling settings instead — calendar blocks are best for one-off periods.
