# Take a Test Booking and Manage Your Bookings

> Book a meeting on your own booking page as a guest would, then find it in Bookings, move it to another time and cancel it

Before you send people to your booking page, book a meeting on it yourself. You'll see exactly what your guests see, and you'll have a booking to practise on in **Bookings**, where you look after every meeting people book with you.

This guide books Northwind's Wholesale tasting call as a made-up guest, Riley Sample, moves it a day later, and cancels it.

> [!TIP]
>
> Book with an email address you can read, so you also see the confirmation email your guests get.

## Book a test meeting

**1. Open your booking page**

Click **Calendar** in the left rail. Under **Your booking page** at the bottom of the Calendar menu, click the open-in-new-tab icon next to **Copy link**. On the booking page, click **Choose a time** on the meeting you want to test.

**2. Pick a day and a time**

Days with a dot under them have open times. Click a day, click a time, then click **Next** next to it. Times show in the guest's time zone, which they can change under **Time zone**.
