Calendar overview

Calendar is where your workspace’s time lives. Open Calendar in the left rail to see your schedule across as many calendars as you need, create events in a couple of keystrokes, and overlay your dated tasks on the same grid.

Get around

• Switch between Month, Week, Day, and Agenda with the control in the header. Agenda is a scrolling list of the next 30 days — handy when you just want “what’s coming up.”
• Today jumps back to now; the ‹ and › arrows step one month, week, or day at a time.
• The mini-month in the sidebar jumps straight to any date.

Create events fast

The quickest way onto the calendar is the Quick add box in the header:

1. Type a plain-English phrase — lunch with Sam tomorrow 1pm — and press Enter.
2. Knobs parses it into an event draft: title, time, location, even a repeat rule if you said “every Tuesday.”
3. Review the draft in the event editor, adjust anything, and Save. Nothing is created until you save.

You can also click Event, or click and drag directly on the grid — see Events & recurrence for the editor in full.

Note

The same parser works elsewhere in the suite: type /event standup Friday 9:30am in Chat, or click Add to Calendar on a mail thread to turn a conversation into a pre-filled event draft — see Calendar invites in Mail.

Your calendars

Everyone starts with a personal calendar, and you can keep as many as you like — one per project, team, or context:

• Click + next to My calendars in the sidebar to create one, with its own name and color.
• Click a calendar’s color swatch to show or hide it on the grid.
• The ⋯ menu on each calendar offers Share…, Rename / color…, and Delete (your default calendar can’t be deleted).

Calendars are private by default. Share… grants view or edit access to people or groups, plus a calendar-only level — free/busy — where others see when you’re booked but not what the events are. Details in Sharing & access.

Tasks on your calendar

Flip the Tasks switch in the sidebar to overlay tasks that carry a due or do date. They render as read-only chips on the grid; clicking one opens it in Tasks. See Tasks from anywhere.

Find events

Events show up in global search alongside everything else — open search and use the Calendar type filter to narrow to events. See Search.
