Iām so happy to share that you can now mark certain dates as unavailable on your calendar!
This was one of the features most requested by HomeExchangers and for years, weāve been hearing and collecting your feebdback and my colleagues on the Product team have decided, after analyzing your requests and comments, as well as the relevance of the feature, to work on it!
How does it work?
My colleague @Benjamin.HomeExchange from the Product team, explains everything in detail below:
Up till now, you could mark your calendar in 3 different ways:
- dates available for any type of exchange (in green)
- dates available for a reciprocal exchange (in yellow)
- dates available for non-reciprocal exchange, with GuestPoints (in blue)
A fourth option is now available:
- dates when, for one reason or another, your home will be unavailable (gray).
Another little update: to make the calendar clearer, you can now find a clearer legend explaining what each color represents.
The result: dates marked as unavailable will appear as gray on the calendar, like when an exchange is already finalized.
When you contact a member to request an exchange, the periods marked as unavailable will appear in gray on the calendar, and you will not be able to propose an exchange on these dates.
A clearer available or unavailable calendar
You already have the option to choose whether or not youād like to be contacted outside the dates marked as available on your calendar (simply choose the desired option under your calendar).
To make things even clearer, from now on, this choice will be illustrated on the calendar, since if you have chosen not to be contacted outside your available dates, these dates will now appear in gray.
And there you have it! I hope everythingās clear and that you like this update that Benjamin, our Product team and developers have been working hard on
