# Set your organization's holidays

Set holidays in **Settings → Organization → Holidays**. Adding, changing or deleting a holiday needs the `capacity_others:update` permission, which only Administrator holds by default. [Open in Teamhood](https://app.teamhood.com/go/settings/holidays)

## Add a holiday

1. Select **Add holiday**.
2. Enter the **Name**, pick the **Date** and enter how many **Days** it lasts.
3. To keep it every year on the same date, select **Repeats every year**. Leave **Last year** empty to repeat it without end.
4. Select **Save**.

A holiday whose date moves each year, such as Easter Monday, is added once for each year. A holiday lasts at most 366 days.

On the Gantt and the Schedule at day zoom, a holiday is a pale purple column through every row, apart from the grey weekend. Hover its date in the header to read the name.

Scheduling skips holidays like weekends. When a change puts items out of step, Teamhood shows what it moves before it saves, and you choose to keep durations or keep dates. A holiday changed through the API, MCP or an import moves nothing. To someone who can edit holidays, the page then shows how many items are out of step, and **Review** offers the same choice.

## Import or export holidays

**Import** reads a CSV file with one row per holiday: the date, the number of days, the name, and optionally whether it repeats every year. The dialog previews every row before anything is saved. A row that starts on the same day as an existing holiday changes that holiday. **Export** writes the same columns.

One undo reverts a whole import. Deleting a holiday offers **Undo** too.
