Hello,
I did not see this addressed in the manual or FAQ.
Say I have a recurring appointment, every third Monday of the month, at
11:30 AM, no problem:
** Monthly meeting with Boss <%%(diary-float t 1 3)>11:30
Now, my boss emails me and says, let's change next week's meeting to
10:30. How would you handle that? Just simply change the 11:30 to
10:30 and remember to change it back next week? Add a new one-off
appointment for 10:30 that day and ignore the 11:30 one on your agenda?
Or is there some way to do this built into org-mode already?
Thanks a lot!

For these types of meetings I use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift (C-c
C-x c) to copy the entry and shift the date ahead appropriately. This
creates separate tasks for each meeting and I'm free to move individual
tasks around as required.
HTH,
Bernt
