  3. General Availability: Select the days and times you’re available for appointments, including breaks and project work.
  4. Scheduling Window: Decide how far in advance people can book appointments and the minimum time before appointments.
  5. Adjusted Availability: Fine-tune your schedule for specific dates, like for personal appointments.
  6. Booked Appointment Settings: Schedule breaks between sessions and set limits on the number of appointments per day.

Once set, proceed to edit the sharing settings for your appointment schedule.
