# How to submit your availability

**For:** Shift worker
**You'll need:** Availability mode turned on. See {doc}`always-available-mode`.

Tell your manager when you can work — either as a recurring pattern (e.g. every Monday morning), a one-off slot, or a block when you're not available.

## Add a recurring availability block

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. In the header, open **Planning** and click **'My availability'**.
2. In the **'Recurring'** section, click **'Add recurring availability'**.
3. Fill in the days, times, and how often it repeats.
4. Click **'Save'**.
:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Tap **More → 'Availability'**.
2. Tap **+**. An **'Add availability'** sheet asks what kind you're adding.
3. Choose **'Recurring'** — "These are your regular work times."
4. On the **'Add recurring availability'** form, tap **'Start'** and **'End'** to set the day and times.
5. Turn on **'Repeat availability'** and set the frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly), how often it repeats, which days, and when it ends.
6. (Optional) Add a note.

## Add an unavailable block

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. On **'My availability'**, in the **'Unavailable'** section, click **'Add unavailability'**.
2. Pick the date(s) and time range.
3. Click **'Save'**.
:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Tap **More → 'Availability'**, then **+**.
2. Choose **'Unavailable'**.
3. On the **'Add unavailability'** form, leave **'Unavailability type'** on **'Unavailable'** to simply block scheduling. Picking a leave type instead (Vacation, Sick, …) creates a leave request that needs approval — see {doc}`request-time-off`.
4. Tap **'Start'** and **'End'** to set the dates and times.
5. Tap **'Save'** (top-right).

```{note}
On mobile, tap a block to open its detail, then **'Edit'** (top-right) to change it. A block's kind is fixed once it exists — the edit form shows it as a read-only badge — so to change the kind, delete the block and add the other kind. **'Delete'** sits at the bottom of the edit form.
```

For the full form reference — including the **'This / Following / All'** scope chooser when you edit recurring blocks — see {doc}`/plan-schedules/availability/index`.

## Verify it worked

The new block appears in the matching section of the **'Overview'** tab on **'My availability'**.
