Alternatively, select the appointment to open the details box

Select "Move" from the button choices below

You will then see your appointment in the bottom right corner of your appointment page.

Select the new date from the appointment book menu bar and drag your appointment from the corner to the team member & time you need.

Once you let go and drop the appointment into its new time, it will flash red until it has been saved into place.
