You can adjust any scheduled event's date, time, or duration with confirmed bookings. By following this article's steps, you will ensure the system automatically updates the schedule and moves all confirmed attendees to the new time.

💡 Please note: If you don’t follow this process, you may encounter a 'red-line' error.

This article covers:


Single events with confirmed bookings

To reschedule a single event on your schedule:

  1. Open your Scheduling page and select the entry you want to update to highlight it.

  2. Select the drop-down menu next to Edit entry, then Change event date/time.

    Scheduling screen with arrow pointing at the 'Change event date/time' option within the drop-down menu next to 'Edit entry'.

  3. You can then adjust the event's date, time, or duration. Once you've made your changes, select Save changes to finalise the update.

Courses with confirmed bookings

There are a couple of ways to reschedule a course date on your schedule:

  1. The first way is to open your Scheduling page, then select the course you want to update to highlight it. Then, select the attendee icon 👨‍👧‍👦 for the date/time you wish to reschedule:

    On the next page, select the Options drop-down menu, then Change event date/time:

    Then, adjust the course date, time, or duration within the Move event pop-up screen. Once you've made your changes, be sure to select Save changes to finalise the update.

  2. The second way is to filter your schedule by selecting the Filter items:

    Scheduling page view with an arrow pointing at the 'Filter items' hyperlink

    Then select the Expand courses box:

    Filter items menu with arrow pointing at the 'Expand courses' checkbox.

    Select the course date from your schedule, the Edit entry drop-down menu, then Change event date/time:

    Scheduling page with arrow pointing at the 'Change event date/time' option within the drop-down menu next to 'Edit entry'.

💡 To reschedule multiple dates on a course, you will need to repeat this process for each date separately.


Important notes

  • Reminder emails will be updated with the new date, time, and duration, including the View booking button link in the booking confirmation email. Customers who log into their Bookwhen customer account will also see the updated details.

  • The system won’t automatically notify attendees of any changes, so be sure to update them directly if needed.

  • Please note that unique links will change when you amend the date, time, or duration. If you've shared links externally (e.g., on social media or your website), you’ll need to update them.
