This article helps you view and change your event type settings in Calendly.

Before you begin

Using managed event types? These have unique settings and restrictions. Review this article if you're editing an admin-managed event type.
Want to use a different event type? You can’t convert one event type into another (like one-on-one to group). To use a different type, create a new event.
Using the mobile app? Check out these mobile-specific guides for editing on your phone or tablet.

Follow these steps to open the event type editor:

Each event type includes customizable settings that control how and when people can book with you.
