Weekly windows vs ad-hoc windows
Every annotation is built from time windows, in one of two shapes.- Weekly windows repeat. Set a day of the week and a time range, and the overlay paints on that day every week.
- Ad-hoc windows are one-off. Set a specific date and a time range, and the overlay paints only on that date.

Will an annotation block bookings or stop a slot from being booked?

link.

Can I use one annotation for a scheduling link's availability?
Can I use one annotation for a scheduling link's availability?
Yes. When a scheduling link is built from an annotation, you’ll see it
listed under Connected scheduling links in the annotation’s edit form,
and you can click through to that link. Editing the annotation’s windows
updates the links that still point to it.
What's the difference between an annotation and an event?
What's the difference between an annotation and an event?
An event is a real thing on your calendar: a lesson, a meeting, a committed
block of time. An annotation is a backdrop that marks a pattern, like the
hours you teach. It holds no students, notes, or charge.
