How to Deactivate and Activate Calendars

Created by PX Marketing, Modified on Tue, 19 Aug at 3:02 PM by PX Marketing

Overview

In PXME, you can temporarily deactivate calendars to stop offering specific services without losing your setup or existing appointments. This is helpful when pausing certain offerings (like a consultation or demo) but wanting the option to bring them back later. Reactivation restores the calendar instantly, including all previous appointments.


How to Deactivate a Calendar

  1. Go to Settings > Calendars.

  2. Find the calendar you want to deactivate and click the 3-dot dropdown menu.

  3. Select Deactivate Calendar.

  4. In the popup window, click Save to confirm.

Once deactivated:

  • The calendar will no longer be available for booking.

  • Existing appointments remain intact but hidden until reactivation.


How to Check Active vs. Inactive Calendars

In Calendar Settings, review the Status column:

  • Active = Calendar is live and bookable.

  • Inactive = Calendar is hidden and unavailable for booking.


How to Activate a Calendar

  1. Go to Settings > Calendars.

  2. Locate the calendar you’d like to reactivate.

  3. Click the 3-dot dropdown menu and select Activate Calendar.

The calendar will instantly become active again.
