Before you start
Choose the practitioner (the person clients book with) and date. The date editor accepts today through 365 days ahead. Example: to close next Friday, open that date and choose Close day.
Open the date
Go to Settings → Practitioners → Dates. Choose Date and select Open date.
Close the day
Under Availability for this date, choose Close day. Check the practitioner and date before continuing.
Save and confirm
Select Save date availability and look for Availability saved. Preview the affected service and date as a client, then check existing appointments in the agenda. Contact clients separately if a confirmed visit needs to move.
Example: take next Friday off
Open the person’s date-specific hours, choose the Friday you want and select Close day. Save, then check that date on your booking page.
This changes the date you selected. Check existing appointments separately; closing a day does not automatically cancel them.
What you should see
New online bookings are unavailable for that practitioner on the selected date; their usual weekly hours remain unchanged.
If you need help
I only need to change part of the day
Use Replace shifts to set new working periods, set exact start times to offer specific appointment starts, or add blocked time for a period that cannot be booked.
The change should apply to only some services
Review Apply to, Selected services and Exclude services before saving. These controls decide which services follow the date rule.
The range is rejected or the day is still open
Use the displayed 24-hour format (09:00 is 9 a.m.; 12:00 is noon), make the end later than the start, and check that you opened the correct practitioner and date.
