# Reservations
Reservations are a very useful tool in your DG1 booking section that helps you track new bookings and manage them. Here you can check the availability of your personnel and plan their schedules or get a detailed overview of all your booking groups, set the prices for each booking product, edit customer information and quickly make adjustments to each booking when needed.
# Check reservations
- To get an overview of your current reservations, navigate to Booking -> Reservations.
- Choose your Booking group. (Example: Meeting).
This will open the Reservations page, where you can see all your reservations. Here, you can View 
each reservation or Edit 
its details, for instance if you want to change certain information, booking products and dates, in case the customer contacts you and changes their arrival or departure date. You can also manually change the price and all the customer’s information.
