#### Pro Tips for Scheduling

- **Partial searches work:** You don't need the full name — typing just the last name (or part of it) often finds participants faster.
- **Verify before confirming:** Always double-check the email address on the right before clicking **OK**, to make sure confirmation emails go to the right person.
