# Blocking a slot

A blocked slot makes a time range unavailable for booking, without creating an appointment. It's the ideal tool for your breaks, time off and one-off unavailabilities.

# Understanding blocked time

Where the **Availability** tab defines your **recurring** hours, a blocked slot neutralizes a **specific moment** in your calendar. The blocked slot automatically removes the corresponding range from the availability offered on your public page: no one will be able to book on it.

# Blocking a slot

1. In **Agenda**, open the **My agenda** tab then click **Block time off** in the toolbar (lock icon). You can also click directly on an empty area of the calendar to pre-fill the range.
2. Fill in the **Date**, the **Start** and **End** time, and a **Label** if needed ("Lunch break", "Time off"…).
   
3. Click **Block**. The range appears on your calendar and disappears from the bookable slots on your public page.

# Editing or deleting a slot

- Click a blocked slot on the calendar to **edit** it (dates, label).
- **Deleting** the slot makes it bookable again: Klarity confirms with you before deletion.

| The times of a blocked slot are expressed in **your time zone**, like the rest of the agenda (adjustable in **Settings › Profile and account › Localization**).

| 💡 **Tip:** for an absence that repeats every week (a recurring day off), reduce your ranges in the **Availability** tab instead; keep blocked slots for one-off cases.
