How to add a Full Close Out to block your availability for a period of time

You can close out or block availability for all or specific rate sheets and room types by adding a full close out for a particular period of time. A full close out will prevent guests from making online bookings which arrive, depart or stay over these dates.

A close out will block out availability online, but the dates on your calendar will still appear as available.
