How can I add/delete a manual calendar block?

Managing your calendar effectively is key to maximizing bookings and ensuring a smooth operation. In this article, we’ll show you how to add and delete manual calendar blocks easily. Let's get started! 

How Can I Add a Manual Calendar Block?

Adding a manual block to your calendar can be a strategic way to reserve dates for maintenance, personal use, or any other purpose. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Log into your Holidu Host account  : Start by logging into your account on our platform.
2. Go to the Calendar Section : Navigate to the 'Calendar' section on the top.
3. Click on “Block” in the Availability section on the right side
4. Then, choose “Manual Booking” (for personal bookings) or “Date Block” (only to block the calendar without specific information)
5. After that, you will be able to click on the start date and then the end date
6. Click on “Confirm dates” on the right side
7. Fill the information requested in the pop-up
8. Save Changes : Always remember to click on “Save” after making any updates to ensure they are applied.

Tip: 
Keeping your calendar updated not only helps avoid double bookings but also maximizes your listing’s potential.

How Do I Delete a Manual Calendar Block?

If plans change, or you need to free up previously blocked dates, deleting a manual calendar block is just as simple:

1. Access your Holidu Host account: Log into your account and go to the 'Calendar' section.
2. Select the Blocked Dates : Find and click on the blocked dates you wish to release.
3. Remove the Block :

• On the menu that appears, select 'Remove Block'.
• Confirm your action if prompted to finalize the change.

1. Confirm and Save : Ensure you confirm any prompts and save the changes to update your calendar.
   
    

Tips: 
Regular checks on your calendar can help you stay ahead of any booking opportunities missed due to lingering blocks.

It is not possible to configure an automated calendar opening or closing to allow or prevent bookings beyond a certain number of months (e.g., after 9, 12, or 18 months from today). If you do not wish to receive bookings with such a lead time, we recommend manually blocking the calendar for the dates you do not want to receive bookings and unblocking the periods you want to make available as needed. Alternatively, you can choose to opt-out of the copy price campaign and set the prices for the periods you wish to receive bookings one at a time.
