Select from the options to either change all (permanently change the booking so that it always happens at this new time) or edit change only this (reschedule this one booking, leaving the remaining booking set to recur at the original time).

⭐️ Top tip
When making recurring bookings, bear in mind the customer will receive an email confirmation listing all the dates of future bookings, so it's a good idea to arrange them in smaller series, even if you know it will be continuing for the foreseeable future. This will stop your customer being overwhelmed with too many future bookings dates.
It will also make invoicing more organized and manageable, as each individual occurrence of a booking generates its own invoice.
Please note that if you have the setting to send an .ics file when a booking is created on, that only the first booking in the recurring set will show in the customer's external calendar.
