Pro Tips. 


You can always check if a close out has been added correctly by going back to your diary and having a look. 


Remember, white space is what represents time slots that are available to be booked. 

When I add this close out and go back to my diary, I can see the white space stops at 20.45pm and is covered by my purple close out, which is also covering all of my areas. 


We would also suggest popping on to your online booking booking and making a quick test booking to make sure everything looks correct and to your specifications. 


You always pop back to settings > close outs > find your close out in the list > click edit, should you ned to make any changes at all.
