**What happens next**

* The calendar updates immediately.
* If notifications for rescheduling are enabled, changing the date or time sends a reschedule message with the updated details.

**Notes and tips**

* **Availability & buffers:** Rescheduling respects existing bookings, room/resource reservations, and buffer times. If there isn’t space at the new time, pick another time that has availability.
* **Rooms/resources:** If a room or resource was reserved, make sure it’s available at the new time (adjust if needed).
* **Online bookings:** Availability in online bookings updates immediately after a reschedule.
