Mark individual dates unavailable
Creating an unavailability marker is simple. Hold down the shift key and click the date to be marked as unavailable. If the unavailability lasts a number of days then drag the mouse cursor to the end date. Don't worry if you get the dates wrong, you can change the dates once you release the mouse and the unavailability panel appears.
Entering unavailability details
Once you have created an unavailability marker, the new unavailability panel will slide in from the right-hand side. Here you can add a reason which will display on the calendar. You can also edit the start and end dates.

Deleting Unavailability Markers
For some multi-unit listings or due to iCal bookings, some unavailability markers can't be deleted from the app. If this is the case and you need it to be removed please complete this form here which will go to our Technical Support team. We'll then let you know once it's completed via email or chat.
Advance notice (booking lead time)
Introduction to booking lead time
You can set booking lead time for Booking.com, Google, your direct booking website and Airbnb on Uplisting. We understand setting this rule separately for each channel is important, for example avoiding last minute bookings on Booking.com, Google, your direct booking website specifically has been a popular feature request.
How to set booking lead time
Go to
listing settings > availabilityto set the booking lead time on an individual listing.Enter the booking lead time you wish to set, in hours.
Done!
Setting the lead time in hours gives you great flexibility. The hours count back from midnight on the day the guest intends to check-in. If you set a lead time of 40 hours (ie. 1 day and 16 hours) your guest can book up until 8am on the 5th (for example) to check-in on the 6th.
Linked listings
Linked listings allow you to share the availability of 2 or more properties on multiple booking site accounts automatically.
Here are a few examples of how you can use linked listings to streamline your listing availability.
1. Rent an entire property and rooms/properties within
If you rent an entire property and the rooms within, you can use the linked listings feature to sync availabilities.
How to block an entire property when one or more child listings are booked

Done! If the entire property is booked, then any linked child listings will be marked as unavailable and vice versa.
2. Rent an entire property and one or more nested properties within
Uplisting linked listings offer great flexibility for nested properties.
In some cases, you may have an entire property, with individual child listings, where one or more child listings also has linked child listings. Uplisting's linked listings can cater for this use case.
When ROOM1B is booked, APT1 and Master are marked as unavailable. ROOM1A and APT2 are left open.

Open the 2nd level nested child listing linked listing settings and select the 1st level child listing. Save.
Done!
3. Two or more listings of the same property
Uplisting also allows you to link properties in series. Those of you with duplicate listings of the same property can use linked listings to mark dates as unavailable when any of the others is booked.
ℹ️ There is no limit to the number of listings you can link in series. You can also link properties across multiple Airbnb, Booking.com, and other booking site accounts.
When APT2 is booked, APT1, APT3, and APT4 are marked as unavailable.
How to link listings in series:
Choose a listing and select all dependent listings on the linked listings panel
Repeat for all duplicates
