What’s the plan?
Gatherings under one day use Morning, Afternoon, and Evening availability blocks. Longer gatherings use possible start dates.
Add an email to receive optional updates when people respond.
You can change these preferences anytime.
Everyone can still see the group heat map and totals. This setting controls whether participants can see who selected individual availability blocks.
Choose the first and last possible date. Every date in between will be shown.
