Here is how you do it:

Option 1 - Update multiple locations at once

Navigate to: Listings - Locations - Temporarily closed

Click on ''Update multiple''

Select the date through which the locations will be temporarily closed

Select the locations you desire to update by pressing "Select Locations"

Click ''Update''


Option 2 - Update a single location

Navigate to: Listings - Locations - Location list - Select a specific location

Select the desired locations

Click on the ''Temporarily closed'' field

Press the checkbox to confirm you've read the information
