# How to edit an availability block

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** An availability block.

Edit any field on a block. For recurring blocks, saving opens the same scope chooser as recurring shifts — **'This'**, **'Following'**, or **'All'**.

```{note}
A leave-typed block is locked while its leave request is live — its dates and hours *are* the request, and a confirmed one has a balance booking behind it. The form says so and offers **'Change end date'** instead, which moves block, hours, and ledger together. See {doc}`/manage-leave/leave-requests/change-the-end-date`.
```

## Open the block

1. From the {doc}`view-the-availability-list` or the calendar, click the block.

## Make changes and save

1. Update fields.
2. Click **'Save'**.

If recurring, pick the scope:

This
: Only this occurrence is changed.

Following
: This and every later occurrence are changed.

All
: The whole series is regenerated.

## Verify it worked

The block (or series) updates to match.
