Hello Mews Community, we are excited to announce that we’re working on enabling rolling release dates for group blocks. Rolling release dates will enable you to set release dates for example 7 days before the start of a block for a rolling period. We believe this functionality will be a great step towards supporting travel agency contracts in your property.
We plan to run a gradual roll out for the functionality for a global release in Q4 2023, with early access to beta testers. The roll out plan will be as follows:
- Multi-group support in blocks.
- Rolling release dates.
Multi-group blocks
Multi-group blocks will enable you to create multiple groups with up to 750 reservations each in a single block. This means that you will no longer have to create multiple blocks for large groups which is typically of blocks created for up 1 year for travel agency contracts. They can now all be automatically linked to a single block, effectively giving you 2 types of blocks 1) Single group blocks and 2) multi-group blocks.
Multi-group blocks are a prerequisite to activating rolling release dates, as they prepare your property for handling large groups. You can learn more about the features that will be made available to beta testers in the recording linked below:

We plan to stage the first beta of multi-group blocks on the 25th of September.
Rolling release dates
Rolling release dates are the final step and will be published to beta testers once we have successfully completed testing of multi-group blocks.
We expect the beta release for this feature in October before the global release.
