# Repeating blocks, team blocks, and holidays

> Block a weekly lunch once, close the calendar for the whole team in one step, and see holidays at the top of each day.

A time block marks time that isn't an appointment, and online booking treats
it as busy. A block can repeat, and owners and managers can put one block on
the whole team or a few people at once. Holidays sit in a slim row at the top
of each day so you can plan around them.

## Make a block repeat

When you add a block (**Add** → **Block time**), choose **repeat**:

* **does not repeat**
* **daily**
* **weekly on** the block's weekday
* **every weekday** (monday to friday)
* **custom**, to pick the weekdays, how many weeks apart (**every 2 weeks**,
  for example), and when it ends: **never**, **on** a date, or **after** a
  number of times

A repeating block starts and ends on the same day. A block that never ends
keeps going: Sable always has it on the calendar at least a year ahead. Every
day of it stops online booking exactly like a single block.

Blocks that repeat show a small repeat mark on the calendar.

## Change, move, or remove one day of a repeating block

When you save a change, drag a repeating block, or remove it, Sable asks which
days you mean, the way Google Calendar does:

* **this block**: only the day you opened
* **this and following blocks**: this day and every one after it
* **all blocks**: every day, earlier ones included

Changing the repeat itself (its weekdays, spacing, or end) applies to **this and
following blocks** or **all blocks**.

## Block time for the whole team or a group

Owners and managers see **who** when they add a block:

* **just** the stylist you picked
* **whole team**: everyone on the calendar, booth renters included
* **pick people**: only the stylists you tick

The block appears in each person's column and closes their online booking for
that time. It is one shared block: edit it once and everyone's copy changes.
When you remove it, choose **remove for everyone** or **remove just for** the
person whose column you opened.

Team and group blocks can repeat too, so a weekly team meeting is one block.
Stylists and booth renters see a team block on their own calendar and leave it
to an owner or manager to change. A team block changes only who can be booked
and when; it never touches a booth renter's payments or payouts.

## Holidays

The row under the dates shows holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, plus Valentine's
Day, Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year's
Eve. When a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the weekday it is observed on
shows an **(observed)** card too.

Holidays are a reminder only. Your booking page stays open on a holiday unless
you block the time. To close the salon for a day, add a **whole team** block.

Owners and managers can hide holidays for everyone in **settings** →
**scheduling** → **calendar** → **show holidays**.
