Create and edit an event

You can create an event from the sidebar or by clicking any day in the calendar, then fill in the date, time, guests, and other details. This article covers creating an event, editing it, and deleting it.

Create an event

There are two ways to open the new-event form.

• Click Create event at the top of the sidebar.
• Click any day in the month or week view. The form opens with that date already filled in.

The New Event form opens as a dialog. Fill in the fields you need:

1. Type a title in the Add title field at the top. A title is required.
2. Set the date and, if it is a timed event, pick a start time and an end time from the dropdowns.
3. Tick All day if the event has no specific time. The time pickers are replaced by a date-range picker.
4. To make the event repeat, open the recurrence dropdown (which shows Does not repeat by default) and pick a frequency. The built-in options are daily, weekly, monthly, annually, and every weekday. See Create a recurring event for more detail.
5. To invite people, type a name or email address into the Add guests field and click the + button or press Enter. Repeat for each guest. See Invite people and manage attendees for how invitations work.
6. Type a room name or address into Add location if you want one.
7. Type any notes into Add description.
8. If you have more than one calendar, a calendar picker appears at the bottom. Choose which calendar the event belongs to.
9. Click Save.

Edit an event

1. Click the event in the calendar. A detail panel opens showing the time, location, description, and any guests.
2. Click the pencil icon in the bottom-left corner of the panel. The Edit Event dialog opens with all the same fields.
3. Make your changes, then click Save.

Editing a recurring event

When you save changes to a recurring event, Calendar asks which occurrences to update:

• This event: changes this occurrence only. Future and past ones stay the same.
• This and following events: changes this occurrence and all that come after it.
• All events in series: changes every occurrence of the recurring event.

Choose the option that matches what you want, then click OK.

Delete an event

1. Click the event to open its detail panel.
2. Click the bin icon in the bottom-left corner.
3. Confirm the deletion. For recurring events, Calendar asks the same scope question as when editing: you can remove this occurrence, this and following, or the whole series.
