==Disconnect==
Bookings coming from a channel should be modified by the channel. Cancelling a booking in Beds24 will not cancel the booking in the channel and can cause a double booking.
If for some reason you need to make a change in Beds24 and do not want an update from the channel to override it, you can set "Allow Channel Modifications" = No ("Details" tab of the booking").
