## Frequently asked questions

### How do I know if my manager has seen my availability?

Any submitted availability (new, edited or deleted) is updated in your manager's schedule right away.

Managers can see your availability when scheduling shifts, so they can schedule shifts that fit around your other commitments.

When your schedule is ready, your manager will publish your schedule. Once published, your shifts will be shown in your agent schedule. You can also compare the hours you said you were available with the hours you've been given.

### Can I set up recurring availability?

Not yet, but we’re working on it.
