Your working hours are set from the **My schedule** section of the calendar (sidebar), reachable without leaving the grid. You can define a default weekly template, adjust a specific day, manage your lunch break, and close public holidays or vacation periods.

## Set your default week

From **My schedule > Edit default week**, configure the template that applies to all your future weeks: for each day, toggle it as working or off, then add your working slots. This template is the base for every slot offered when creating an appointment.

## Adjust a specific day

For a given day (a one-off exception that doesn't touch your default week), use **My schedule > Edit day** or the edit pencil in the calendar's day view. You can:

- Toggle the whole day to off.
- Add, edit, or remove slots (work, break, unavailability).
- Repeat that setting over several following days.

An unavailability that overlaps an appointment already booked blocks the save: clear the appointment first. Shrinking your hours in a way that leaves an appointment outside the new window only triggers a warning, it's your call.

To adjust a whole week instead of a single day, use **My schedule > Edit week**: same logic, with the option to repeat the setup over several following weeks.

## Manage your lunch break

Click directly on the lunch break block shown on the grid to open quick edit: adjust the start and end time, then save. A break that would overlap an appointment or another break is refused at save time.

## Block a one-off slot

To close a time range or a whole day outside your usual hours (personal appointment, unplanned event), use **Block** from the calendar toolbar. Choose between the whole day or a specific time range, with an optional reason. The blocked range shows up grayed out on the grid.

## Close public holidays and vacation periods

From **My schedule > Public holidays & closures**, turn on the toggle to automatically close French public holidays every year (you can uncheck a specific holiday if you choose to work that day). You can also add custom closures, for a single day or a date range, for your recurring time off.

## Edge cases

**You don't see the ranges outside your hours on the grid.** That's expected, they're grayed out by default. Turn on the **Show unavailability** toggle in the Artists sidebar to make them visible.

**You want to close a day but appointments are already booked on it.** The system warns you before you reopen a public holiday that already carries appointments, but nothing is canceled automatically: handle those appointments yourself if needed.

**An exception on a specific day only applies once.** It doesn't overwrite your default week: each one-off adjustment stays local to the chosen date, your default week keeps applying on other weeks.
