What is a room closure
A room closure is a temporary block that you can put in a room for a certain range of dates so that it won't be available for booking during those days.
For example you can create a room closure for reasons like renovations, or block a room while waiting to add a reservation later.
If you want a room to be fully closed for the entire calendar forever, then rather than a room closure you will need to fully delete the room.
