New Feature Alert! Starting from October 2024, you can adjust the duration of classes when adding them to a repeating schedule, scheduling a one-time class or workshop, and editing an existing class.
You can now adjust the length of individual classes, even after they’ve been added to the schedule. This makes it easier to create a custom class and manage classes that may need to have varying durations without needing to change the entire course setup.
When can you use this feature?
You’ll see the option to override the class length when you:
Add a one-time class
Add a recurring class
And when editing an already scheduled class
This update is perfect for scheduling multi-day workshops or series where session lengths may vary. You can still keep the same class type while customizing the duration of individual sessions to fit your needs.
Limitations
If you offer recurring classes of different lengths, we still recommend creating separate classes
