How do I move an appointment to another time, day or staff member?
By opening the appointment in the calendar and editing it. The client notice goes out based on what you enabled.

Open the appointment in the calendar and change what you need: date, time, service or staff member. On save it checks the new slot is free; if it clashes with another appointment or falls outside your hours, you are warned and you decide.
If the service is split into stages, moving it re-assigns the staff for the new time instead of dragging the old assignment along.
One thing to watch: moving an appointment from the dashboard does not send a "your appointment changed" notice. Today automatic notices cover appointment created, confirmed, cancelled and the reminders. So tell the client yourself, or let them do the change by enabling client rescheduling in Bookings.
And if what you want is to bring someone forward because an appointment dropped, do it from Gap filling: there the dashboard tells you who to offer it to.
