Edit event details
When one line isn't enough, set the owner, color, reminders and repeat on the edit screen. You can create events on separate dates in one go, and save events you use often as templates. From the ⋯ menu above the calendar, you can choose whose events to show.

Fill in the event
Step 1. Open the edit screen with Details or the event's Edit
For a new event, tap the + button on the calendar to open the input box, then tap Details. For an existing event, tap it once in the list below the calendar to expand it, then tap Edit.
From the top, the screen has the title, the date, the Time switch, then a card with the owner, color, repeat and reminders, and the note at the bottom. You can save from either the top or the bottom of the screen.
What each field sets Field What it sets Time Off makes it an all-day event with no time. On lets you set Starts and Ends. You don't have to set an end time. The end field then shows None, and only the start time appears on the event. Whose event is it? A member's name or Together. A new event is yours at first, and it gets a badge in the list in its owner's color. Color The first option, Owner's color, follows the owner's color. There are 20 other colors, and the one you pick is used to show the event. The owner badge keeps its color. Reminder You can pick several. With a time, choose from On time, 10 min before, 30 min before, 1 hour before and 1 day before. Without a time, choose from That morning and 1 day before. Tap None to turn them all off. Note Write anything. Events with a note get a small dot next to the title in the list, and the note shows when you expand the event. Step 2. Use Custom to set the interval and weekdays
In Repeat, tap Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly to repeat every day, week, month or year. For something more specific, like every 2 weeks or every weekday, tap Custom at the end.
Under How often should it repeat?, set the number with − and + (from 1 to 100) and pick a unit: days, weeks, months or years. If you pick weeks, Choose weekdays appears. Tap Weekdays to turn on Monday to Friday at once, and tap the weekday chips to add or remove days. Below, a single line reads back what you picked, for example every 2 weeks on Monday and Wednesday.
Tap Custom again to collapse the detailed settings. The interval and weekdays are cleared, and only the basic repeat for that unit (for example, Weekly) remains. To stop repeating, tap Never.
Events on several days
Step 3. Turn on Pick several days and tap each date
A range you drag on the calendar covers only consecutive dates. To pick separate dates, turn on the Pick several days switch on the new event screen. The start and end date fields fade, and a small calendar opens below the switch. Use ‹ › to change months and tap dates to pick them. Tap a date again to remove it. Picked dates gather as chips, and you can tap a chip to remove it too.
The time, owner and reminders apply to every date. Below the calendar you'll see how many events will be created, like 3 days picked · saving creates 3 events, and saving creates one event for each date. In a free space you can pick only as many dates as you have room for, and when you hit the limit you'll see You have reached the free space limit.
Events made this way are linked as a group, so they can't repeat. The switch is only there when you create a new event. You can't spread an existing event over several days.
Step 4. When deleting a grouped event, choose Only this day in the window that asks
When you delete an event that belongs to a group, the How much should be removed? window appears first. This happens whether you use Delete on the edit screen or expand the event in the list below the calendar and tap Delete. When you delete from the list, the window also lists the group's other dates.
Only this day deletes only the event on the date you opened. All 3 events deletes every date in the group at once. There's no undo for deleting them all. If you're not sure, choose Only this day. One event deleted by mistake is easy to recreate, but the whole group has to be recreated date by date.
Editing works differently from deleting. Changes you save to a grouped event apply only to the date you opened, and the other dates stay as they are. If you see ‘This is one of 3 events added together’ at the top of the edit screen, the event belongs to a group.
Step 5. When deleting a repeating event, choose This event only, This and following events or All events
When you try to delete a repeating event, the How much should be removed? window appears first. The top of the window also shows which date's event it is.
This event only removes just that day's event, and the rest of the repeat stays. This and following events ends the repeat from that day on, and the earlier dates stay. All events deletes the whole repeat.
If you delete the first one in the series, there are no earlier dates to keep, so you see only All events instead of This and following events. This event only and This and following events change only the calendar event, and any planner item you linked to it stays.
Save favorites and choose what to show
Step 6. Save events you use often with Save this as a template
Once you've filled in a new event, tap Save this as a template at the bottom of the edit screen (it appears once you type a title). Give it a name and tap Save to save the title, time, owner, color, reminders and note. The date isn't saved.
Saved templates appear as Templates chips under the title field on the new event screen. Tap a chip to fill in what you saved. The date stays as the one you picked. The chips don't appear when you edit an existing event.
Templates are shared by the members of the space. You create, edit and delete them in Event templates in the Settings tab. Deleting a template doesn't affect events you've already made.
Good to know
- If you've written a long note, you don't need to scroll to the bottom. You can also save from the top of the screen.
- When you open a timed event created in another time zone, a notice tells you which time zone it was set in and that the time is shown in your own time zone.
- For the free space limit (20 events), events made by picking several days count once per date. A range you drag and a repeating event each count as one.
- External calendar events are read-only, so their edit screen doesn't open.
- Events that span several days (with different start and end dates) can't repeat either. In that case you'll see Multi-day events can't repeat..
