Deactivating a Calendar Group

Not every calendar group needs to exist forever. When a seasonal offering ends, a location closes, or you restructure how your team is organized, deactivating the group is a cleaner move than leaving a stale, half-relevant booking page live.

Deactivating vs. deleting

Deactivating a group takes its booking link offline without permanently destroying the group's configuration — the calendars it contained, its name, and its settings stay intact in case you need to bring it back later. This is different from deleting, which removes the group entirely. If there's any chance you'll reuse the same grouping in the future — a seasonal program that returns next year, for example — deactivate rather than delete.

What happens to the underlying calendars

Deactivating a group doesn't affect the individual calendars it contains. Those calendars keep running independently and remain bookable through their own direct links or through any other group they might belong to — deactivation only takes down the group's own combined booking page.

Reactivating later

If you need the group again, reactivate it and it comes back with its previous configuration intact, including the calendars that were assigned to it, as long as those calendars still exist.

Before you deactivate

Double-check that the group's booking link isn't embedded anywhere customers might still be using — your website, marketing emails, or social media bios — and update or remove those references so people don't land on a dead link.

Good to know: If you're restructuring rather than truly shutting something down, consider editing the existing group instead of deactivating it — swapping which calendars are included is usually simpler than standing up a brand-new group later.
