Skip one recurring month (or push a charge to another date)
The donor asks to skip a month, or to be charged after Pesach. Skip moves every remaining charge — including the last — one period later. Nothing is lost from the total.

Tips
- On a commitment's page, “Skip next” does the same for a plan paying that commitment.
- Donor paid extra by check instead of next month's charge? Tick “Skip the next recurring charge for this commitment” on that gift.
- The “Changes” list at the bottom shows every skip with who did it.
If something isn't working
It says “Choose a date from today on”.
Pick today or a later date.
I don't see “Skip or push off”.
It shows only for active, paused or stopped gifts that have a next charge.
