Calendar Widget - 'Continue' Button Update

Quick heads up - we've jazzed things up a bit and moved the Continue button in the calendar widget to a new spot. If you have applied any CSS customizations, kindly verify and adjust them accordingly to align with the updated placement.

What is Calendar Widget Customization?

Calendar Widget Customization is designed to give you control over the appearance and functionality of your widget. With this powerful feature, you can personalize your widget according to your preferences, making it uniquely yours. 

How to Customize your Widget?

• Navigate to Calendars → Calendar Settings.
  
  
• Click Edit for the calendar you want to customize.
  
  
• Open Advanced settings → Widget appearance to update widget customization options.
  

Note: Widget Customizations work ONLY with NEO WIDGET

Understanding Customization Options:

Here, you have the freedom to tailor your calendar widget to suit your preferences. Explore the following customization options:

• Primary Colour: This will impact buttons, dates, time slots, and various actions within the widget such as Staff Selection, Add Guests etc.

• Background Colour: The background color sets the tone for both the date-time selector and the form. If you've got a custom form, its background will mirror the chosen background color, but the  form's fields are determined by your specific custom form settings. 

Note: When using custom forms, make sure the theme syncs up with your widget customizations for a seamless look.

Example of Customized Widget with CUSTOM FORM

• Button Text: Customize the text displayed on the button when booking an appointment. This is the text that will be displayed on the final step of booking the appointment. Examples: Book now, Schedule Meeting, Book Appointment.

• Hide Calendar Details: You can now hide the calendar name, description, and details such as duration, date & time, recurring details, and timezone from the left panel.

Note: If you wish not to show the logo, simply remove it from the meeting details tab

• Preview Your Changes: Utilize the "Preview Widget" feature to visualize how your changes will appear during the appointment booking process. Each time a new change is made, you will need to click on the "Preview Widget" option to see the updated setting.

• Resetting to Default: If needed, the "Reset to Default" option will revert all customizations to the default blue and white calendar widget settings.

Services Booking Flow UI Enhancements

Small booking-flow improvements can make scheduling feel clearer and more intuitive for customers. These updates improve navigation, visual quality, and booking clarity without changing how the core scheduling flow works.

Recent Services booking improvements include:

• a Back button for easier navigation through the booking flow
  
  
• higher-resolution service images for a clearer visual experience
  
  
• an auto-hidden header when no company name or logo is configured, which is especially useful for embedded booking experiences
  
  
• a more clearly displayed timezone label on the slot-selection screen so customers know which timezone they are booking in

These changes help create a smoother and more polished booking experience for both standalone and embedded scheduling flows.
