# Cancel a leave

Plans changed? Cancel an upcoming leave from your profile.

You can cancel a leave that has not started yet, or end one that is under way early. You will be asked for a short reason.

## Steps

1.  Open your profile: on **Home**, click **Leaves** on your profile card. You land on **Work Info → Leaves**.
    
2.  Switch to the **Leaves** tab, then to the table view with the grid icon.
    
3.  Find the leave (it is marked **Upcoming** or **Ongoing**), click **…** in its row and choose **Cancel leave**.
    
4.  Enter a **Reason** and click **Cancel leave**.
    

The leave stays in the list with the status **Cancelled**, so there is a record of it.
