How to mark your locations as ''Temporarily Closed''?

We have adapted our Listings product according to all the directories' best practices.

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
  
• Select the date through which the location will be temporarily closed
  
• Click ''Update''
  

When the end date passes, your Opening Hours will revert to the state they were before the Temporarily Closed hours were set.
