Which two changes should be made in the calendar when changes in daylight savings occur? (Choose two.)

Explanation
When daylight saving time occurs in scheduling systems (like ServiceNow WFM), shifts don't automatically update - you must manually adjust the start and end times (A) to reflect the time change, and the correct workflow requires deleting the old shift label and creating a new one (B) to properly represent the DST period rather than editing in place, which can cause data integrity issues.
Options C, D, and E are wrong because changing the timezone at the user group, system partition, or department level addresses where a timezone is set, not how the calendar shifts respond to DST transitions - those are configuration settings, not calendar adjustment actions. Timezone settings alone don't fix already-scheduled shift times.
Memory tip: Think "AB = Adjust & Build" - you Adjust the times (A) and Build a new label (B). Avoid the other options by remembering that DST is a calendar problem, not a timezone config problem - changing timezone levels (C/D/E) is the wrong layer of the system.
