There are multiple places a Skipper may cancel an event. The two most convenient are the Annual Calendar and inside the Event when it is opened.
Canceling from the Annual Calendar
The Annual Calendar view displays cancel buttons in the row for each event in the Summary view. Each event displays to the Skipper a red button labeled Cancel Event Immediately for single events (events that are not part of a series, or when events in a series are displayed with two cancel buttons. One button cancels a single date in the series, while the other button cancels all events in the series. This is shown in the pictures below for a desktop display (similar displays are formatted for a phone). The Cancel Event Immediately, Cancel [~date~] Immediately, or Cancel All Events Immediately button is clicked to start the event cancellation process.
