Edit or delete an availability block

Applies to non-integrated practices only.

Change a practitioner's availability schedule by editing the existing block, or remove it entirely.

Edit a block

1. Go to Availability.
2. Click the green Availability event on the calendar.
3. The Edit Schedule dialog opens. Switch to the Edit Schedule tab.
4. Change practitioner, date, times, slot duration, or repeat rule.
5. Click Save.

Delete a block

1. Open the block as above.
2. On the Edit Schedule tab, click the Delete button on the bottom-left.
3. Confirm: "Are you sure? This will permanently delete this availability schedule. This action cannot be undone."

The block is removed from the calendar.

Repeating schedules

If the block is a repeating one (weekly, fortnightly, weekdays), the dialog shows an info alert: "Editing or deleting this repeating schedule will take effect from {start date}."

This means:

• Editing changes the rule going forward from the schedule's original start date.
• Deleting removes the entire repeating series from that start date onwards.

You can't currently edit or delete a single instance of a repeating schedule without affecting the rest. If you need a one-off variation, the cleanest pattern is to:

1. End the existing repeating schedule on a specific date by editing its repeat rule to On {that date}.
2. Add a new schedule starting after that date with the new behaviour.

Or use a Hidden block to mask out a single date — see Hide a time window from online booking.

Tips & things to watch for

• Existing bookings inside a block you delete are not cancelled — the block being removed just stops new bookings from being made there.
• After saving an edit, the time slots within the block are regenerated. Allow a few minutes for them to publish.
