An advance booking is a reservation taken before the guest arrives — the calendar shows it, the room is held against new bookings, and (if a deposit was taken) the money is sitting on the guest's account until the guest actually checks in.
This page covers the full lifecycle: book → confirm by email → either check in OR cancel.
New advance bookings now follow a two-step wizard, mirroring the Check-In wizard so the muscle-memory carries over.
