An annotation is a backdrop, not an event: it paints a pattern on your calendar (your teaching hours, “open for new students”) so you can see it at a glance. It holds no students, notes, or charge, only you see it, and it doesn’t block anything. To control when people can book you, use a scheduling link.

​
Weekly windows vs ad-hoc windows

Every annotation is built from time windows, in one of two shapes.
  • Weekly windows repeat. Set a day of the week and a time range, and the overlay paints on that day every week.
  • Ad-hoc windows are one-off. Set a specific date and a time range, and the overlay paints only on that date.

​
Steps

1

Open the Annotations panel

On the calendar, click Annotations in the header.
2

Start a new annotation

Click + at the top of the panel. Harness creates one and opens it for editing. Give it a name (“Studio time”) and pick its Calendar color so you can tell its bars apart.
3

Choose the window type

Under Availability type, pick Weekly windows or Ad-hoc windows.
4

Add your windows

For weekly, set a day and a time range; for ad-hoc, set a date and a time range. Add as many rows as you need.
Changes save as you make them. Close the panel with the X when you’re done.

​
Edit an annotation

Open it from either side of the calendar:
  • In the Annotations panel, click any annotation in the list.
  • On the grid, click one of its bars.
To hide an annotation from the grid without deleting it, click the eye icon on its row in the list. Click it again to show it.

​
Remove an annotation

In the Annotations list, open the row’s ⋯ menu and choose Delete, or use the trash icon inside the edit form. Confirm in the dialog. Deleting is permanent.
If a scheduling link uses this annotation as its availability, the edit form lists it under Connected scheduling links. Deleting the annotation doesn’t break those links: each one takes its own copy of the windows at that moment and keeps working on its own.
A scheduling link can use an annotation as its availability. While it’s connected, the two stay in sync: editing the annotation’s windows updates the link live. The connection breaks in two cases, and the link then keeps its own copy of the windows from that moment on:
  • You edit the availability windows on the link directly.
  • You delete the annotation (see the warning above).
Connected links are listed under Connected scheduling links in the annotation’s edit form, and you can click through to each one.

FAQ

An event is a real thing on your calendar: a lesson, a meeting, a committed block of time. An annotation is a backdrop that marks a pattern, like the hours you teach.
