Steps

Open the booking details In the small window that appears, click Details to go to the full Reservation Details page.

Troubleshooting
I can’t find the booking on my calendar Check you are on the correct property and month. Use the Reservations section to search by guest name or reservation code.
I don’t see the “Change reservation” button Both hosts and guests can start a change request. From your reservation, click Change dates - hosts are taken to the host change page and guests to the guest change page. Whoever starts the change, the other side has to accept it before anything is updated.
The guest has not accepted the change Message the guest using the Message button on the Reservation Details page and kindly remind them to review the change request. If they do not agree, the original booking will stay as it is.
The new dates do not appear on the calendar Refresh the page in your browser. Check the booking again from Calendar → Details to confirm the status.
