# Reschedule or cancel an appointment
Use this guide to change an appointment time (reschedule) or stop an appointment (cancel) from the Tipo Appointment Booking app.
### β Before you start
* You need at least **1 appointment** created.
* Your staff/team member must have **availability** for the new date/time (otherwise the time picker may not offer the slot).
***
### π Reschedule an appointment
Appointments can now be rescheduled by both admin and customers.
#### Option 1 β Admin reschedules (from app)
1\. Open the app > click **Appointments** > click on the appointment you want
Choose a view:
* **Month** view = quick overview
* **List** view = easier filtering/searching
2. Select the appointment to open **Appointment details**
3. Click **Reschedule** (top-right)
* In the popup:
* Select **Team member** (if available)
* Pick a **new date**
* Pick a **new time** in **Date range**
* Click **Reschedule** to confirm
***
#### π€ Option 2 β Customer reschedules (from email)
Customers can reschedule directly from their booking email.
#### How it works
1. Customer opens booking confirmation email
2. Clicks **Reschedule** appointment button
3. A reschedule widget opens > Customer selects a new available time
4. Click **Confirm**
The appointment updates automatically.
> #### Important rules
>
> * Customers can only reschedule, not cancel appointments
> * Rescheduling depends on slot availability
> * Admin will see the updated time in calendar
**β±οΈ Reschedule time limit:** To avoid last-minute changes:
* Customers can reschedule **until 1 day before the appointment.** Within 24 hours β rescheduling is blocked
* Admin can still reschedule manually if needed
β This ensures merchants have enough preparation time.
#### π‘ What changes after rescheduling?
* The appointmentβs **start/end time** updates.
* The appointment stays linked to the same **customer** and **service**.
* If the time slot is not available, you may need to adjust staff availability first.
***
### β Cancel an appointment
1\. Open the app > click **Appointments** > click on the appointment you want
Select the appointment to open **Appointment details**
Choose a view:
* **Month** view = quick overview
* **List** view = easier filtering/searching
2. On the **Appointment details** page, click **More actions**
3. Select **Cancel appointment** > confirm to cancel again on the popup
#### What happens when you cancel?
* The appointment is marked as **Canceled** (or removed from active scheduling depending on your system rules).
* The time slot becomes available again (unless blocked by other rules).
