Manually adding or removing blocks for reservations with early check-in or late check-out

If a guest is checking in early or checking out late, be sure to check the "Block the night before" or "Block the night ahead" checkboxes to avoid overlapping reservations. This will eliminate the risk of a new guest checking in before a previous guest has checked out, or before you've had the chance to complete the pre-check-in/ post-check-out tasks.
