You can cancel a confirmed booking from the **Bookings** page. The attendee is notified automatically as soon as the cancellation goes through.

## Prerequisites

- You are signed in to Cal.com.
- The booking is in the future. Past bookings cannot be canceled.
- You are the host of the booking or the person who booked it.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open the booking's actions menu

Select **Bookings** in the navigation, then select the **Upcoming** tab. Find the booking in the list, then select the actions button at the end of its row to open the menu of everything you can do with that booking.

### Step 2: Select Cancel event and add a reason

Choose **Cancel event** at the bottom of the menu to open the cancellation dialog. Enter a reason in the **Reason for cancellation** field. The reason you write is shared with the attendee.

### Step 3: Confirm the cancellation

Select **Cancel event** to confirm. The booking is canceled, the attendee is notified, and the booking moves to the **Canceled** tab.

## Tips

- To cancel every remaining booking in a recurring series at once, choose **Cancel all remaining** from the actions menu.
- The same actions menu is available inside a booking's details, so you can cancel from there instead of the list.
- Cancellation is permanent. To move a booking to a different time, reschedule it instead.

## Summary

Open the booking's actions menu from the **Bookings** page, choose **Cancel event**, add a reason, and confirm. The attendee is emailed automatically.
