# How to Configure Skippable dates

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a Pro feature of Cowlendar. You must upgrade your plan if you are using the free version and wish to use this feature
{% endhint %}

The **Skippable Dates** feature in Cowlendar allows you to prevent certain days from being selected as the start or end dates of a multiday booking. This is especially useful when you need to avoid bookings on specific days that don't fit with your business schedule.

Common use cases include:

* Avoiding check-ins or check-outs on weekends when your office is closed.
* Blocking holidays or specific dates from being selected for bookings.

With the Skippable Dates feature, you can ensure that your bookings align with your availability and business operations.
