Edit a recurring booking

Recurring bookings are grouped in the booking list. The group shows the date range of the booking series and how often the booking repeats. Expand the group to view the individual bookings.

When you edit a booking, the available options depend on what you select:

•Booking series – Select the group header to edit the entire series. The start date can be changed.

•A booking that is not part of a recurring series – The booking opens directly for editing and the start date can be changed.

•An individual booking in a recurring series – Select whether the change should apply to This booking or This and following bookings. Earlier bookings are not affected. If This and following bookings is selected, the start date cannot be changed.
