# Adding Course Breaks

School holidays or a planned break coming up? Instead of updating each course individually, you can add a break globally — ActiveNow will cancel classes for the selected dates across all group and individual courses at once.

## How to add a break

1. Go to *Settings* → *Season settings*.
2. Click *Add a break* at the bottom of the section.

3. Select the break dates and click *Save*.
4. A confirmation window will appear — confirm to apply the break to all active courses.

You can edit existing breaks by clicking the pencil icon, or remove them by clicking the trash icon.

You can only edit breaks that are in the future. To edit a break that is currently in progress or has already passed, contact us.

If you want to add a break for specific locations only, contact us — we'll set that up for you.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/calendar-management/adding-course-breaks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
