# Cancel or modify a booking


# Cancel or modify a booking

Plans change. You can cancel a booking at any time, or adjust the duration of a booking that is already in progress.

## Cancel a booking

1. **Navigate** to **Bookings** from the sidebar.
2. **Find the booking** you want to cancel and tap it to open the detail.
3. **Tap** **Cancel Booking**.
4. **Confirm** the cancellation in the dialog that appears.

The booking is cancelled immediately and the space becomes available for others.

## Extend a booking

If your meeting is running long and you need more time, you can extend your booking while you are checked in.

1. **Open** your active booking from the **Bookings** list.
2. **Tap** **Extend**.
3. If the next time slot is free, your booking is extended. If someone else has the space after you, you will be told it is unavailable.

## Shorten a booking

Finishing early? You can shorten your booking to free up the remaining time for others.

1. **Open** your active booking from the **Bookings** list.
2. **Tap** **Shorten** to reduce the booking duration.

The freed-up time becomes available for others straight away.

> **Tip:** Cancelling or shortening bookings you no longer need helps your colleagues find available spaces. Every little bit helps keep the building running smoothly.
