Definition
The Blocked-Out Nights Configuration allows you to stop selling specific dates only to selected channels, without closing the general calendar.
This is particularly useful when, for example, you are receiving many reservations for a specific period from your own website and therefore you wish to close the remaining available dates of that period in the other channels, in order to keep selling those only from your own website.
How to Navigate
From the Header, click on the Gear icon, and then on Manage Configurations.
Go to the Channels tab and click on Blocked-Out Nights
Here you have the option to create new Blocked-out Nights Configurations by clicking on Add Blocked-out Nights, and below the list of the already created Configurations, which can be edited.
