# Set a booking minimum for a class

A proposed class runs only if enough people book it. The minimum decides only whether a session runs. Whether a session's time can be sold as other offers before anyone books it is a separate setting: see [Sell this time as other offers](/help-center/sell-a-class-time-as-other-offers).

Set the rule in **Admin → Settings → Booking → Minimum bookings**. The **Minimum bookings** row on the class page links to this single settings home.

Choose the offering and its minimum. A new minimum defaults to **Team review**, which leaves bookings confirmed while the team decides. To use the proposed-class behavior described here, open **Advanced controls** and choose **Automatic cancellation**. Set **Cancel if still below minimum, hours before the start** to the cutoff, from 0 to 720 hours. The team review must happen before that cutoff; by default it happens 24 hours earlier.

Existing proposed classes retain their automatic-cancellation choices. Courses do not have this setting: a course always runs as a whole run. See [Minimum bookings and Inbox decisions](/help-center/booking-settings#minimum-bookings) for the setup and **Run anyway** action.

At the cutoff, a session that reached its minimum is confirmed and its **Runs if** row says **Confirmed: it reached its minimum**. A session below its minimum is cancelled the same way as archiving it: pass, class pack and membership uses go back to the customers, and they are told the class is cancelled. See [Cancelling and Deleting Class Sessions](/help-center/cancel-and-delete-class-sessions) for what happens to each booking.

To change one session, open it and click the value in its **Runs if** row. Leave the minimum empty to follow the class, or enter **0** so the session always runs.

The cutoff limits what you can change:

- A new proposal, on the class or a session, applies only to sessions whose cutoff is still ahead. Sessions already inside their cutoff keep what they had.
- A session cannot be proposed once it is inside its cutoff.
- After its cutoff, a session can only be set to always run.
- A new session, or one moved to a time already inside its cutoff, always runs.
