Available on our Teams and Enterprise plans, editing permissions acts as both a lock and sync function.

When you enable editing by assignees (as shown below), this means:

  • Assigned users will be able to edit the fields in this section.
  • Changes made by an admin on the managed event template will not be updated to assigned users.

When you disable editing by assignees (as shown below), this means:

  • Assigned users will not be able to edit the fields in this section.
  • Changes made by an admin on the managed event template will automatically sync and update for all assigned users.

Note

Timezone display, Start time increments, and Event slug (previously Event link) have been combined into the Booking page options section in the new editor.

Editing for Timezone display and Start time increments will be enabled or disabled based on what the Event slug (Event link) was set to before the updates.
