A booking form lets customers self-book on your team's calendar from a public link or embed. You make and manage forms on the [**Bookings**](/go/bookings) page, which the navigation lists as **Booking Forms**.

## Create a booking form

Use this to add a booking form that customers can book from. A new form starts active and has no services.

1. Select **New booking page**.
   - The button appears only with edit access to bookings.
2. Enter a **Title** of up to 200 characters, replacing any text in the field.
3. Enter a **Description (optional)** of up to 2000 characters, if you want one.
4. Select **Create**.

The form's page opens with the **Services** section empty.

Add services next, as described in [set up appointment types](/help/booking-forms/set-up-appointment-types). To share the form, select **Copy link** in the **Public link** card on its page, as described in [share your booking page](/help/booking-forms/share-your-booking-page).

## Duplicate a booking form

Use this to start a new form from an existing one.

1. Select **Duplicate** on the form's card in the list.
   - The button appears only with edit access to bookings.
2. Enter a **Name** for the new form.
3. Select **Duplicate** in the dialog.

The new form's page opens.

A duplicate keeps the original's description and copies each service that has not been deleted, with its settings. Each copied service keeps its own **Active** setting. The copy starts active, even if the original is switched off.

## Change a booking form

Use this to rename a form, change its description, or switch it on or off. You make these changes on the form's page.

1. Select the form in the list.
2. Select **Edit details**.
3. Change the **Title** or the **Description**.
   - To turn the form off, switch **Active** off.
4. Select **Save**.

The **Edit booking page** dialog opens with the current values filled in. After you save, the dialog closes and the new title shows in the page header.

## Delete a booking form

Use this to remove a form you no longer need.

1. Select the form in the list.
2. At the bottom of the form's page, select **Delete booking page**.
   - The button appears only with full access to bookings.
3. Select **Confirm** in the **Delete booking page** dialog.

The page returns to the list, and the form is no longer in it. The form's page can no longer be opened, and its public link returns a 404 error.

## What each setting does

- **Title**: required, up to 200 characters.
- **Description**: optional, up to 2000 characters.
- **Active**: a new form starts active. A form that is switched off shows **Inactive** in the list. The setting is saved with the form.
  - A customer who opens the public link or embed of a switched-off form gets a 404 error.

## Who can do each action

- View the Bookings page and its forms: view access to bookings. The **Booking Forms** entry appears when you can see bookings.
- Create, change, or duplicate a form: edit access to bookings. The buttons for these appear only with edit access.
- Delete a form: full access to bookings.
- The owner has every permission.

For roles, see [roles and permissions](/help/team/roles-and-permissions).

## When the Booking Forms entry is locked

The **Booking Forms** entry is locked when your plan does not include both online booking and scheduling. The bookings pages need both. Creating, changing, duplicating, and deleting a form each check that your plan includes online booking.

For plan changes, see [change your plan](/help/organization/change-your-plan).
