There are 2 ways to cancel a pledge.

Shorten a pledge
For example:

DateStatus
1 Jan 2024Paid
1 Feb 2024Paid
1 Mar 2024Planned
1 Apr 2024Planned

When pledge is running monthly like the example above, and the donor contacts you before the 1st March stating they wont be able to pay the last two months of the pledge. You need to specify the 1st Feb 2024 as the last date of the pledge. infoodle will not allow you to pick a date earlier. It will then delete the Mar and Apr pledge dates.

Clear all unpaid pledge dates
For example:

DateStatus
1 Jan 2024Paid
1 Feb 2024Paid
1 Mar 2024Planned
1 Apr 2024Paid

If the donor contacts you in August '24 (i.e. after the pledge is meant to have been completed), and they identify that they wont be able to complete their pledge - by ticking the 'clear all unpaid pledge dates' infoodle will delete the 1st March 2024

Updating pledge dates
Once the deletions have been completed - infoodle will check to see the last available date, i.e. it ignores the deleted dates. It will then adjust the end date to match the last valid payment date.
